Guest pogo2501 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have many questions pertaining to this swap. i will have this engine in the spring and i am looking to start prep now for the engine. it is a 71 cleveland four barrel with the flat chamber heads. it has a c6 tranny but i am thinking about a t5 because i cant stand an auto. my main concern is the unibody and drivetrain. i have a r-200 laying around for the 240 and whatnot but will they hold up to 350+ hp? and i know frame support is a must on a v8 car but what needs to be reinforced? i have messed with datsun z's for about 4-5 yr now but they have all been n/a L6 engines. so i never had to worry about any mods to the unibody. Basically I need to be enlightened on this. Because i think I'm going to enjoy it very much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 There is way too much information to post in a message back. An excellent start would be to search the forums for "frame", "reinforcement", "stiffening", etc. There have been a lot of threads about these subjects, and more that will help you out a lot.
