Re: car engine swap possible?
If I were doing this motor, and intended to keep it a while, and/or run it more than moderately hard, I'd also be looking for the "HD" con rods & a forged crank. Both of which are typically found in both marine & truck motor environments...<br /><br />And if you can afford a few extra $$'s (probably less than $100 extra), I would look a 4-bolt main block, which would also be a decided plus for strength, as it is less prone to distortion under load... (also typically found in marine and truck use environments)<br /><br />Good Luck, Obiwan
