I JUST BOUGHT IT!!!! (the creat 350 HO that is). it is not a new one, it is in a 80s suberben with 5,000 miles on it, the motor that is. the truck is totaled and the owner sold the hole truck w/ motor for $400.00 !!!! i payed for the tow to my buddies shop. when it is out ill part out the truck for some more $$$$ to stroke it to a 383ci. so what do you think about a 383ci in an 86 ROC :rockon:. i think it's been done befor......... right.

Just do a search or look at people's signature's. There are plenty of people on the motor swap thread that have done it, so you can pm them.
