Vortech 7.4 swap
Has anyone tried this engine in a 3rd gen? It seems like the only information I could find for a reason everyone uses a carb. or aftermarket fuel injection is because of pulley clearance issues.

Re: Vortech 7.4 swap
You'll need an aftermarket hood, but otherwise it's alot like any other 454 install.
