283
didnt want to ruin his thread under me.
ok so my dad has a new 283 long block he got for his 63 ss nova but he sold it. so i was think about putting it into my sonoma it has a 4.3 now with a automatic 4l60e would it bolt to the trans and what about motor mounts. also i want to build it to have 300 h.p what can i expect for mpg. if it doesn't bolt to the trans i have a turbo 400 but would that be to much. and how long did it take to do the engine swap for you guys. |

Re: 283

Re: 283
o ok thanks this is just an idea since my 4.3 has been acting kinda funny maybe it will die and give me a real reason.
