JEGS was an excellent experience with GM crate engines and excellent support. I also have friends who work with Karl customs

Does anybody know of a good forum or write up anywhere that shows the whole process and lists everything that needs to be disconnected from the engine for it to come out?


Just my 2cents. I recently did my ht383 swap. I went ahead and bought these books. I found they were very helpful and kind of like engine swapping for dummies. I was real nervous and worried but what saved my ass was the pictures and the facts it's based on a 350vortec instead of some universal engine removal bull crap or a 100pg manual. I think I got it from scoggin dicky for 20bucks or something. I recommend it. Its simple, torque specs ,and pictures along with tools needed.

Good to know Scoggin-Dickey is still around. I remember getting Chevy parts advertising flyers from them in the 80s, the early days of crate motors! I think they started out as a Chevy dealer in Lubbock, Texas, and branched out into mail-order parts sales. Evolving to online....
