Re: '96 5.7 Vortex for my '71 GMC ?

Thanks Nitis, I don't know much about it yet, the ad doesn't even say what it came out of. But for $250 it would probably be worth rebuilding. Older gen1 350's I've seen have been about $500, and a gen1 454 also $500. All the reman engines now are up to $1800 or so. I'd love to have another 454 but I can imagine what the gas mileage would be like lol. The last 454 I had replaced a blown engine in my Trans Am when I was much younger, drove it hard and put away wet. Oversteared like crazy with the BB but man it was fun
Do you know if the flywheels would be different between the older engines and the Vortex ?
