Nice, i have a fully built Fuel Injected LT1 350 out of a 92 Corvette that i dropped into an S14. The engine and trans is in the car, My brother is a metal fabricator, so he made me motormounts and a crossmember for the tranny and modified the trans tunnel so it looks factory.... I ordered a painless wiring harness from summitt to wire the engine, its awesome, every wire is labeled to tell you where it goes, makes the job 100% easier. Ive built a few S10 trucks with the same setup so as far as cooling im gonna run a fluidine radiator with a flex-a-lite push/pull dual fan setup, The S10's never overheated with that, so hopefuly ill have the same luck with the S14. By the way, sorry to threadjack you

torque city!
What tranny is that? turbo 350?

I say a 10:1 383, World Or Dart Heads in the 195 range, A 234/234 cam in the low .500's lift, edle single plane, 750 carb of your choice. That would be right at 420 crank horsepower.

I have a virgin 400 crank sitting in my garage. Came out of a solid running 2 bolt main motor.

Sorry for the long reply. If you pay shipping plus 40 bucks, you can have it. It's out of a 73' chevelle.

Not good. Thos frame rails are not that strong, you want to brace it to the stock crossmember. I used a TH350 in my S13, it was a ***** making it work with a LSX motor. I have a 460 horse 11.5:1 small block 400 I was going to use, but I decided to go with a new gen swap.
