Ive been reading through Jegs and have gone to GM to ask about Crate engines. Ive done this because for a engine shop to properly turn my existing engine into a 383 Stroker its going to cost me 4500-6500$ depending on head choice.
Now In Jegs they have an engine from GM that quotes 385Hp called the "Fast Burn 385" for about 6000 even
Now this will mean I have a complete L98 (dressed) to sell (Which is a super cool Idea)
All I have to do judging by the information given is buy the MiniRam from TPiS (Wiring/injectors Etc...) and Im set correct?
My question is on this motor will things like to port holes line up? Will the motor mounts be the same? Will the Bellhousing be the same? I'll need a scater shield which one do I buy? Are all the sensor locations the same?
Basiclly is this pretty much the same 350 Im pulling out? I was under the impression all 350's are based on the same engineering but Im working off uneducated rumor here.
Im trying to develop my battle plan for when I do the "Big change" so when I have the money put away I can just point and Click as I'll be doing ALL the work myself.
Thanks all.
BTW part number from Jegs is 809-12496769 for the 385
the other possible motor is,
809-24502609 (ZZ4 w/ 54cc Alum Heads w/ 355Hp) ((a little cheaper Im assuming from the 35Hp loss but it says reccomended for pre 76 vehicles)) <--Is that because of sensor postions?
I don't want to go with 2 bolt mains hence not wanting Jegs's 350 Ram Jet.
