Well, if I don't put it on the lowrider, it will surely be on the '57 when I get back on it next summer. I've never bought a crate motor but, I've eyeballed that GM 502/502 Ramjet setup and it looks pretty sweet. I'm gonna get the TCI 700R4 put in the lowrider over the next few weeks (I miss my OD) and swap out the fuel pump.

So, I'll have a freshly rebuilt TH400 available with a new verter and shaft if you know anyone looking.

Thanks for the info!!!

As 454HO stated, there are a TON of kits out there. You could piece one together with an intake (or use yours) fuel rails, TB, injectors and a harness and sensors. Personally, I would go with a GM ECM off a 99 newer vehicle and get EFI Live instead of MeagSquirt.
