Need a new motor

[blueflamed03]

Do you plan to buy a longblock, or assemble yourself a decent 355.
If you drive it moderate, just get a new longblock stock, add a small cam and exhaust and call it a day.

For towing my vote goes to the HT383E. It makes a ton of torque

Understand the .030 over but the problem is I can find a long block to buy thats already punched.

I hear ya all on the 383. I just dont have $4800 at the moment.

6.0L LQ4 FTMFW. Imo.

Blue Flame, that engine is not legal on pollution controled vehicles...we have yearly safety and smog inspections...what a pain, they even check your window tint.

How hard is it to stuff a 6.0L in her? That would require new motor mounts, computer and the such correct?

 

[blueflamed03]

that was an example, you can find tons of rebuilt 355 Vortecs out there that are bolt on upper fuel injection and roll.

The 6.0 is a direct swap, just retune computer. All externals are the same.

The 6.0 is an LS based engine ... it's not a direct swap for a TBI 350 ... not even close.

Buying a 355 over a 350 isn't going to get you any more power ... if given a choice it's almost always better to go with a virgin block.
