Chris Wilson Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Nothing to do with me (save it looks almost the twin brother of an engine I built for a TVR some years ago, but I don't THINK it's the same unit....). Reputable seller, this thing would be awesome in a MKIV shell or a RWD Skyline. No idea how much he's looking for, but for someone with a decent budget it could be the makings of a beastie. http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/23596/CHEVY_SMALL_BLOCK_74_ALL_ALLY.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Is that a v8 what will it rev to and will it need an air flow meter to yes V8, not sure what series engine but it will be between 6500 -7000 rpm, but there would not be much point pushing it that hard as peak power and torque will be a lot lower than than, as for the air flow meter its an old skool carburettor so it doesn't need an ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 My chevy V8 (Camaro) was making full power at around 3000 rpm on the dyno, basic old school V8 power, simple, strong and effective, and the noise is something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Looks like a beast. Is this an LS series engine? s'wot i was thinking, sounds like it could be a stroked LS7, but that would be a shocking waste to take all the injection off and replace it with that stinking old 1950's stylee carb, pretty cr*p advert really to not say which engine it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
