pparaska Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 How about a 330 hp crate motor from GM for $2075?: http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/ChevySmallBlockV8s/330.html Or the 350 HO Deluxe which is a complete motor, oilpan, to dist/carb with the Vortec heads for $3250? (same page) That puppy has over 300 lbft from 1700-5600 rpm! You should upgrade stock suspension, brakes with this setup. While the R180 has been known to live under moderate powered V8s for quite a while, the R200 open diff is cheap and easy to swap in. Make sure you use good U-joints. Search the driveline forum for "solid u-joint" to find the one that Scottie found and used with success. Other than that, follow the JTR (see the links page) manual and you're home free to lots of fun.
