Post your engine shots. What have you got?

[Elbert]

2 shots, 1st is when my 62 had an LT1, 2nd is when I changed to a 502.

must be nice....

I've often thought that an LT1 may not be a big enough power increase over my worn out 2f, and that maybe I need a 502. I would post a pic of my engine bay, but you can't see anything between the grease and mud, and the only mod I have going right now is the seized alternator that generates a nice smoke screen if you try to start it.

Nobody "NEEDS" a 502.... but it would fun.

LT1 would be plenty of power. IMOP.

x2, i hear a lot of people talk about needed tons of power, but most of them would crap their pants in a car running a 350 hp small block, which is easier to make these days than falling off a log. A 502 with good compression and heads will easily make better than 500 hp with a comparable if not greater amount of torque, which is enough to break some really stout hardware.

That being said, i want a 440 on propane when my current motor dies, but i dont expect cruiser axles to handle it (without some serious $$$$$).

Ditto ..!

I agree about the 502, I always forget you can't hear sarcasm in type....sorry, but it would be sweet.

 

[Mace]

Yep

The LT1 was cammed and had some head work. It made 400ftlbs and ran just OK. The power band was too high. Typical small block needing RPM to make torque. I was going diesel until we ran across the 502. It makes 630 ftlbs and will break parts on command. I am going to pull it and probably go with a 6 liter this spring.

it's slow, but it doesn't use much gas at all.

intercooler and after that the rad .. ?

Badas rig .. !

 

[agent orange]

Exiled- That is a great looking swap. Does the 4bt have rocker boxes that are seperate from the head or just valve covers? Im familiar with some heavy equipment diesels but i dont know much about their smaller siblings.

Still in the works. 5.3 vortec

 

[Waggoner5]

The 5.3 will be a nice conversion engine. Where in Ft Worth are you?

 

[paxildog]
