Thats one of the great things about running a SB Chevy motor. You could order a crate long block for what my Hemi heads alone would probably cost.

Good luck!

yeah i sold my stock motor to dodge for a replacement for a customer (not gonna say the ridiculous price i sold it for!) and im using that money to buy a good reliable 350 from one of their employees ha wont have as much power as my motor did but still definitely better than the 3.8 haha and i just need something to drive until boot camp

Semper Fi to you my compadre! Welcome aboard, Marines are always finding ways to make things work and most of the time with little or no resources. Right now myself and a few other leathernecks are making a 2011 Scion xB into an all wheel drive tactical ralleyish machine. Kai Hei Tai is our team, check us out on facebook.

Back on track, can't wait to see video of it up and running again!
