Re: What crate motor do you have?
I've got the RamJet 350, minus the fuel injection.
The PO couldn't figure out how to hook up the fuel injection components, got mad and threw them in a dumpster! So it's got a basic Eddy performer RPM and 1406 carb. Makes great HP & torque. Specs out a few ticks shy of the zz4 according to the GMPP catalog. Would love to find all of the fuel injection parts to put it back together. Catalog put the price at $6.6k if I remember right.

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I can't throw a rock without hitting a ZZ502 in my shop. But if I was doing it for one of our trucks, and wasn't going to race it, I'd go with the HT502 or whatever GM now calls the "truck" version. Milder cam and cheaper, easier to live with.
The 572s are tempting, but really expensive, and too much cam and carb for a grocery getter. If they sold it with street heads and cam, it'd be cool. I've probably got $5K into my original 396, which surprised me... that's close to new engine pricing. But then it cost $3K to get the rear end "back to new", so nothing's free. Here's a pic of a crate ZZ502 short block I run in my '69 Camaro, though everything from the deck upwards is custom or aftermarket (but the ZZ502 bottom end seems indestructible). Next to it is the ZZ502 in my B-body, so as you can see it's all in how you dress them!

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I'm at the same crossroads as you. My 72 c-10 still has the original 350 and i get 12 mpg with an embarrassing amount of power. Tried a different carb but it seems to still struggle plus it leaks oil bad. I suspect burnt valves but i'm far from an expert. Time for a new motor. If i'm going to get 12 MPG, i better have some power

Re: What crate motor do you have?
I'm thinking of getting one of these. Very good bang for the buck, one year warranty.

Then yes sir. (Albeit I bought the turn-key version it) Great power, deep throaty sound. My only gripe is that I'm running it with a 3:08 and 700R4 combo. Don't make that mistake. ![]() |

This is the one I used: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...make/chevrolet To which I complimented with: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...7697/overview/ The serpentine kit needed a little bit of fitting to get it all together, so expect a few things to either not fit/need fitting if you run into a bind. If and when you decide to use it. ![]() |
