Hi, everyone... Was summing up all my options... Stroker, turbo, supercharge... You know the usual... I came across PAVTEK, and they have some wicked crate engines....
I like this one: http://www.pavtek.com.au/index.php?o...=114&Itemid=19 Anyways, just wandering... "If" i were to buy one and it arrived right now, could i just drop the motor in an drive? Maybe rebuild tranny? It comes with everything right? Block, heads,etc And i can just transfer steering pump and stuff from my 220 motor? Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated...( Is this in the right section, if not can someone move it for me?) |

For the time, money and effort involved, just get a intercooler and supercharger kit.

Yes ,thats exactly what CFOUR was getting at.
But to say only 350 might not be impressive for him, but that would be a bucket load of fun for me and dont forget all that torque !! |

You would really need to give them a call to get more info.
Ideally it would be a roller cam block, come with late model reverse rotation water pump, and a 50oz balancer. You have no need for the Vic Jr carb intake so no point including that in the build. Call them and have a chat, I am sure they could build one to be as close to "drop-in" as possible.

Will the year of the block affect a happy ending here?

'Scuse me for asking a dumb question but........ The Engine in the pic from the link seems to have a large Carby sitting in the middle.
Why would you want to got from Fuel injection back to carburetion ?

Easy, buy motor, remove and sell intake & carby.
then go and buy injected manifold. ie, performer RPM2 |

Or talk to them about their EFI upgrade. I have no experience with Holley EFI, but maybe someone else can comment...
