Parts swapping
Hey guys, couple of questions on swapping from a pre 87 block to a post 87 block....
1) can I reuse the oil pan?
2) can I swap the pistons from one engine to the other?
3) can I use my retro fit roller lifters instead of the oem roller lifters?
thanks!

Re: Parts swapping
Oil pan, no. Pistons, yes, but you may create a balance issue. Lifters, no, because the bosses in the later blocks are taller.
