Re: bbc opinions

The gen 5 bbc started in 1991 and went on to 1996.I have a 1993 version of the motor and it's lame.Rated at 230hp and 390 ft pounds.The heads on the motor limit it to around 4500rpms.The gen 5 motor will not work with the mark 4 heads.Water jackets are different.

What you want is a one of the mark 4's.I also have a 454 and a 396.Parts are so much easier to find.And cheaper.They have adjustable valvetrains.

The good thing about the gen 5 is there cheaper.I bought mine with the serpentine setup and all the TBI harness and computer for 650 bucks.Complete good running engine.I see them on craigslist for around that money alot.

The older one's are ussually fetching more money.And are more worn out ussually.
