I just purchased this crate motor for a engine replacement in my C30. The engine is rather in-expensive, but the add ons where the $$$ adds up. I did a complete new item replacement: intake, carb, fuel pump, flywheel/clutch and HEI distributer and plug wires/new spark plugs. Granted, I buy top of the line items because I can afford 'em, so there are cheaper alternatives. I intend to create a install thread in the engine/drive train section. But, i'm not going to start the install until mid April though. I'm stoked!
