8.1
Is a 8.1 and a 3ott doable, I was told that the 8.1 shard the same bell housing as the older motors. Have a change to get one of these but I want to keep the 3ott and I will be driving respectable with the old 3ott, and does these motor's have the .400 thou discrepancy as the other ls's.

Re: 8.1
8.1L's have the same Crank Spacing as Mark IV big blocks & Gen I Small Blocks.

Re: 8.1
It will work but you better put a throttle stop somewhere around 1/8 throttle. That big block makes massive power compared to what that old transmission was designed for. The torque will rip it apart.

Re: 8.1
I agree. A little 3 speed behind that 8.1 is just a grenade waiting to explode.
