lm7 or old school 400 sbc in next project?
« on: June 24, 2012, 06:19:43 PM »

Now that my integra is on the road I think its time I drag my camaro out of the barn.

Right now it has a 400 with a holley 4150 on top and a 700r4 trans.
But there's a van for sale with a 5.3 I think I could pick the entire thing up fairly cheap and part out anything I don't use.

Thoughts?

Some year I may want to boost it, that's why I'm thinkig the fuel injected ls would be a good idea.

I just missed a 6.0 bit it was just a long block so it would have needed a ton of buckle and dime shit to swap.

Gne III+ and don't look back.

 ;DDD

I have what is basically a new 355 for my current truck project, and I don't really even want to use it.  No budget, so I will most likely use it.

Snag the van for sure.  Parts vehicle is the best way to go about the swap IMO.

I was too slow, its gone.

Probably drag this out of the barn soon anyway. It needs to run again.

i would just consider a decent rotating assembly cam and heads for your 400. to make 500-600hp is not a whole lot of work. i see WISSOTA which is a restricted dirt latemodel with spec heads make 600 no prob. stock block. there nothing to write home about just decent parts.
