heh, you can always take off the oil pan and remove the crank with the flexplate and converter attached. Put in a new stroker crank along with a new FP and Converter

If I had the funds to do so, I would make my block into a stroked 383 with a weiand 142 sitting on top of it. But.. im broke.

woooo hooooo
Those bolts were easy as cake after a few days of going outside every day and spraying the suckers down with pb, broke free real easily.
Now im just waiting on the funds for gaskets/bolts/oil/antifreeze/insurance, and MAYBE a new cam if I have some cash to spare. Im suppose to be getting close to 700 dollars. *those items +4 new tires* I should have enough money for a cam, but im not sure. Ill guess Ill see

I called comp cams just to see what type of cam they suggested, this is the data that I got:
12-238-2
218 intake
224 ex 50
462 lift
469 exhaust
110 lobe seperation
does that seem right?

So I got the block out of the blazer *yayyy*
Block casting number is: 3970010
"3970010....350...69-80...2 or 4"
Ill get the head casting numbers later, im lazy.
anyways, I put the torque converter onto my transmission also. I played around with it a lot *makes me further hate torque converters* and eventually it moved back further than any other times, so I think I got it in..

does that look in place to you guys? *sorry for the big resolution, I figured it would help*
*edit*
I can just barely fit my fingers back between the trans and the TQ, and im a pretty skinny guy

from that pic it looks like you got it.
to ease instillation when you put the motor in, get 2 old bolts about 3 inches long that fit the motor where the trans bolts to the block at & cut the heads off where the wrench goes, then cut a slot in both of them for a screw driver where the head was at. screw them into the lowest bolt holes on the block about 3~4 full turns. it makes it much easier to line up everything on the first try. once you have the trans & motor mated together put 2 bolts in & remove the guide bolts you made & put in the regular bolts.
if you have or can use a bench grinder, round off the guide bolts a little where you cut the heads off at.
while sliding the motor in watch the converter & flex plate, you should have plenty of room between them, the converter should
be loose & turn easily once you have the trans & motor bolted together.
