Homepage Poll: Do you plan on doing a motor swap?

[ChevyKev]

I like building engines!
Much easier than electrical problems. :angry:
I boted for already swapped - and in the blazer I have several times.

The original motor was replaced (after 215,000 miles) with a GMGoodwrench stock 350. That motor was stolen at a later date and is now in the Vega.

I thne put a Buick 455 in the Blazer - only to haveoil pump issues and never really got to run it hard. Was starting to get into fixing it when I got the offer to come back up here.

Seeing as I knew a 455 Buick wouldn't pass emmissions... I bought a1960 engine out of a GMC (got to drive it before I bought it) for $500 and drove it for over a year. However, that first winter of -40 on 43 year old seals lead to many oil leaks (and fires!)

So I rebuilt that engine and now it resides in the Blazer. It has 10:1 compression, bored .040, Edelbrock performer cam, intake, and carb, and headman headers.

I need to rebuild Skitzo's engine due to the modified block with external water passages. Internal are all good, and I have a few blocks that are contenders. It also had the 10:1 compression but was stock bore.
