v8 time
ok so im gonna be taking out the i6 putting in v8
i know i want a v8 probably 350 cause i want to keep my trans. Im gonna look on craigslist what do i look for? ive heard 4 bolt main. alot of the motors i see are blocks and heads. any particular years best? im not really looking to piece a motor together but if i get just block and heads what will it probably run for rest and what will i need. i eventually want to put some power to the truck but not right now just want a good base engine. thanks in advance |

Re: v8 time
4bolt main is much todoo about nuthin
a used engine is best bought if you can see hear it run b4 payin// they all ran good when they left the factory not so much now around here good complete running 350 engines are about 300-500dollar range// rebuildable complete core engines 100-200

Re: v8 time
My 383 was built in a good ole 10/20 (high tin, high nickle)2 bolt block.....after ten yrs, & many trips over 7000 rpms, she is still running strong
 you dont need a 4 bolt block,just build & balance it right! crazyL
