Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No small block eh?
Big block is your only option then.
How does a Vortec sound?
7400 Series = L29, L21
8100 Series = L18 (through 2007)
There was also a Marine L18 with a stand alone ECU that stopped production in 2009 however you can still buy them new in the crate today.
