Yeah that looks good.......................will that be a direct replacement.....................if everything will fit that will work!!!! I was talking to one of there people an they couldn't give me a direct answer lol!! An does anybody have any other replacement motors that they like/perfer!

The 290hp 350 will ship to you as a Base-level long block. Add an intake manifold, throttle body, ignition system, starter, balancer, and water pump and you're good to go.

That will work just fine an thanks Greg for the help/quick replys an another ? I can just use the stater,water pump,intake thats already on my 5.7 right. My plan is to use this engine till it gets broken in good say 5,000 miles then at that point I want to put vortec heads, with the gmpp tbi to vortec intake, headers, hi-flow cat, to a magnaflow, then dump the exhuast before rear axel, last but not least is a cold air intake thats my plans for this motor not looking for alot of hp./tq. but just a good daily driver thats fun to drive.

I would suggest a 5.3 or 6.0 swap. You will get nowhere near 350 horse with the motor you have selected and for the same money you can have a much better setup.

If you wanted vortec heads you could go with the 350 HO. 19210007, 330hp 380tq. It will cost you more to start though.

How about 300 hp./ 300 tq. I could live with that lol!! an as for a 6.0 swap whats all involved with swapping that in an will this engine work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12491856/ thanks for any info. Yeah never mind on the 6.0 swap just read your project an that a whole lot more than what I want to get into like I said looking for a direct replacement but thanks for the rply/suggestion.

 

[Mike]

My project was only extra involved because I added a bunch of accessories also I was doing it at home, if you're pulling the engine at all its only a few extra steps to get a LS up and running.

Well what all would have to be done then just to do a simple swap.
