And the classified for the $500 460 is still there But that will need some extra parts, and I don't think it will bolt on to my transmission bellhousing But a 385 series engine on a sn95 should be a ton of fun

and im pretty sure they make motor mounts for that swap... at least they did for foxes, i dont imagine it being too different for sn95s


460

That's a neat fuel rail kit. Too bad the manifold isn't included

Took apart the upper end of the engine to have a look on the valvetrain to determine if the damage was there. Here are some pics.


As you can see, everything's fine. Diagnosis, bent connecting rods, two at least from the sound

btw, pix from my inherited digi cam

When I took off the upper plenum, there was water still inside it. I re assembled everything back to be able to move it. I'll need to move/throw away some stuff in the back of the house to be able to get that ****. out for the rebuild/replace.

At least no C/T will come from this mishap. It'd be pretty crappy compared to my current one

Still looking @ the parts I may need on various websites. Plans are to put a #19 cam, roller rockers, new lifters, oil pump & shaft, pistons & rods, and if money permits... I plan to liven things up a bit for this thing

Nope. It's cheaper to swap a 351, and get more power out of it.

Yes I am putting a 460 in instead cuz to me a 351 is too small for what I wanted to do. I believe that the guy still has that 351 still too. It aint "stock" either if you get my drift.
