Re: Chevy small block question
I'll try to make this short and not bore you...
The car is a 1981 Checker Cab. It originally came with an Olds 350 diesel from the factory. Somewhere along the lines the motor was pulled out and someone started to install a Pontiac V-8 of some sort. These cars came with all GM drivetrains and you could select between a V6, V8, (305, or 350), or the diesel mentioned above. The motor was never fully installed anyway, so I thought I would really update it and make it more reliable and driveable. I can get the 5.3, trans, PCM, and harness - IT'S NOT CHEAP, but I think it would be sweet! I don't plan to do it all at once, due to time and costs, but wanted to know if a 2002ish 5.3 would fit. By the way - all engine choices came standard with a T400 transmission. I've got another Checker - 1977, 350 4bbl from the factory - runs and drives. Thanks, Bill
