I'm guessing this is not right for my car:


380 Stroker Sreet Ad



Oh sure... I know the suspension has to be beefed. And there is the that 700r4 I should nuke. Oh... the brakes would need to match performance of new engine and tranny... but I digress.

Would this engine fit my third gen?

 

it will bolt onto the motor mounts no prob. but you will need to get a fuel regulator or sump your tank so the mechanical one will work

 

There's a clue in there somewhere....

No, it is not right for you; at least not if you intend to be able to license the car.

 

There is that. Durn CA emissions. hehe

I can dream...

And on that subject, I should be able to get one of these instead and with no problem:



Our lowest priced crate engine.
The 330 horsepower 350 HO doesn't sacrifice power or durability, it just pumps up the value. With its four bolt main block, nodular iron crankshaft, PM steel connecting rods and light but strong cast aluminum pistons, this engine screams durability. Add to the strong foundation a pair of 64cc Vortec cast iron cylinder heads and a dual pattern camshaft with just a bit of a "lumpy" idle, and you've got the muscle car small block that you've been looking for.

Good to go despite emissions, right?

 

Crickets.

 

That has Vortec heads. Usually also a no-no for inspection. They have external egr, which in itself isn't bad. But, if they check for all FACTORY equipment and they see external EGR setup, which never cam from the factory on a third gen.....
