So it looks like my block is toast so Im going to purchase a 350 fastburn turn key crate motor and what Im wondering since it already has a newer belt drive system on it what can I do about my a/c can it be used with the compressor that comes with it the motor? Im wondering cause I was going to purchase a new a/c system from old air products so just need to know what I can do....Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

your factory lines will work just fine with a little tweaking they will bolt right up. I bought a zz4 turnkey motor and it was truely easy to install and looks great

Sweet and the power steering would be the same right...Yeah they are very nice engines...

power steering is lil trickier you with have to have a metric line made at a shop for it. no biggie though they will be able to make it with no problem

So is that the only problem you ran into with this turn-key motor...
