    Y You’d recommended upgrading the current fuel injectors to MPI instead of EFI, for better performance, but maybe that was only if I did the stroker. The MPI system I looked at is plug and play. The reman I’m looking at is $1695 with a 3 year/unlimited miles warranty on it. My starter, water...

    I think I am just going to put a reman engine in, and add an upgraded intake manifold, headers and the plug and play electronic fuel injection system(MPI). “Fraisers Engines, The base engine consists of: •A cast-iron engine block and cylinder head •Overhead Valve (OHV) design •Hydraulic...

    So this was done the first time but same radiator and oil cooler lines, were used the second time ‍♂️. This would make sense as to why they won’t rebuild the motor a 2nd time around, because they know they ****** up, and don’t want to admit it.

    $329 plus tax. Plug and play conversion. Definitely a good idea lol and I should have done that from the start.

    Is it worth keeping the Vortec injection or switching to carbonated? That’s the next question lol.

    Could you direct to a proper rebuild kit/gasket set to go with the stroker crank? Should I plan on replacing the timing components, and the water pump as well? I was looking at upgrading the intake manifold as well.

    Here’s a list, and while running at idle, I get that notorious spun rod bearing, the tapping and knocking.

    So here's what I am looking at so far, I'm not in the position to put a crate motor in. https://www.amazon.com/cart?ref_=ewc_gtc Let me know if that link doesn't work.

    I can see other's are starting to see my frustrations and concerns lol. I bought this truck 1 year ago, this last February. I rebuilt my transmission with a certified Master Rebuild, and between that, the motor and all the other components, I'm $16k into her and refuse to do anything incorrectly!

    Very good information and again I really appreciate all of this guys! I have some thinking to do then. I may keep my current block as a spare build and go the Blue Print 383/GM Performance 383 block route.

    I really appreciate this, Sir! I will update the thread as I work on the project. I am rebuilding it with my 77yr old Grandpa in August. He wants to learn more as he street drag raced in the 60's and 70's, but his best friend always did the wrenching.

    3rd Rebuild on 98 5.7

    It’s been rebuilt two times, by a private shop. This will be the third time, spun rod bearing, the first two times they rebuilt it. Of course now, they refused to do it and I’m debating if I want to do it myself, which is what I’m gonna probably end up doing, because I’m not gonna pay to have...
