I looked seriously at the LS and the only way you can do it for the same money is with a used LS motor. The L31 is brand new, not a rebuild and it has a warranty. With a used LS there is no warranty if you have a bad one. Plus there is a lot more work involved swapping in the LS. So it is not as cut and dry as it sounds. For me I figured I am going to get 80% as much for 25% of the work. Last edited by Kudzupatch; 05-13-2018 at 07:23 PM. |

It is NOT. Too much lift for the stock vortec heads. REALLY if you're looking for "drop in" cam. I'd recommend running the one that comes in your motor. A drop in cam won't improve your motor enough to "cost justify' IMO. If you were willing to change your springs, keepers, and retainers you could run that cam you selected. Google "ghetto grind". These guys sell a complete kit (and it's reasonably priced) https://www.alexsparts.com/valve-spr...seat-pressure/ BTW, mine has arrived! I just tucked it away until I get some parts.

Re: gm create motor ?
If anyone comes up with a way to run an in tank fuel pump please share!
Or if someone could share what fuel pump would fit through the tank bulkhead I'm open to making my own stuff. I'm going with a Carb so I don't need high volume or pressure. Thanks |

Re: gm create motor ?
I have the Boyd welding EFI tank in mine with the Aeromotive pump. I had EFI on this truck for a bit till it quit and went back to a carb. I used Aeromotives return style regulator for running a carb and it sits dead on 6psi all the time. I like the idea of having the return as it helps keep the fuel temp down and that reduces the chance of vapor lock.

As for the distributor gear, just go to GM and get the oem melonized gear from a late 90's vortec 5.7L. I ran a take out vortec in my old 79 with a 200-4R behind it. Put a normal timing cover on, removed reluctor wheel. RPM intake. Melonzied distributor gear. Adjustable vaccum advance [way too much ignition timing for vortec heads stock, they want about 34* max] and ramhorns 2" manifolds [2.5" wont clear 73-87's]. Super easy.

Re: gm create motor ?
Yes you can bolt up any small block long water pump.
Look here regarding the crank sensor. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=396643

Also consider putting in a one piece oil pan gasket while it is out. People rave about those so I plan on replacing the factory gaskets with one and doing the timing cover all at one time. |

Re: gm create motor ?
Those crate engines as well as the factory installed Vortec engines have a one piece pan gasket from the factory. In fact I think all 1 piece rear main seal engines have a one piece pan gasket from the factory.

Re: gm create motor ?
I just purchased a GM turn key performance 350, going to install it into a 1971 blazer with a 700R4/NP205.
What is a create motor ? |

Re: gm create motor ?
A ‘create’ motor is similar to your ‘turkey’ performance 350!

Re: gm create motor ?

Thought maybe this forum had a special create your own engine, changing camshafts and other parts to create your own, Thanks for the add and drop method |

Re: gm create motor ?
There is a formula!
It does involve some ‘metric’ calculations and a couple ‘french’ translations but otherwise easy to do. Where is ‘X’ that it marks the spot and ‘Y’ do you live there? |
