Dude dont waste your time with a 350tpi/t5 swap. Do an Lt1 T-56 swap. The difficulty level is the same but the benefit of an Lt1 is far greater than an L98. Lt1's/T-56's are plentiful and will cost you just a couple hundred dollars more if you resourceful. Also youll get more hp, better gas mileage, and you wont have to replace as many transmissions(t-5 dont take much punishment). Do a little research and youll be convinced.

no it wasnt, the whole idea of putting the distributor behind the water pump was genious. I mean who cares that every time the water pump leaks that it will take a 300 dollar opti with it. It was replacement parts heaven for GM. Just sux for the ownersOriginally posted by k's89rs

oh no thats what i was saying, the design sucks. believe me my boss has an lt1, he hates it. and to a certain extent you were being sarcastic when you said that! thats all, i wasnt trying to harp on anyone!
