Re: engine hunting, what should I be looking for???

[QUOTE=Longhorn Man;3045721]facts;
The vortec heads outflow any stock iron small block head
the 5.7 is just as good as the vintage blocks... not many vintage engines made it 200,000 to 500,000 miles and never been rebuilt
Early 80's engines were just as crumy as most 70's engines, it was the crap on top the engine that made them lame
Zink has been removed from oils for about 2 years now, look into it and it's effect on old school cams.


Nothing but the truth right there.

That said , the block you got will make a nice motor .
