Getting fairly close to the beginning process of ordering a motor, have a few I am looking at and after throwing around several ideas the last few months. I am thinking the Vortec L31-R motor is going to be the way to go.* The price difference from the older style is not that much more for a better engine from what I have been reading, plan was to run Fitech but re-thinking that now.* I will likely run a carb to start and decide on going to Fitech later down the road.* Will likely not put enough miles on it to justify spending the extra 1k on it.
There are a few other odds and ends I didn't put down but most things will be moving from my 305 to the Vortec motor.* All my sensors and plugs are new, plugs and wires are brand new, so I'm swapping them over.* Going to try to get my headers and exhaust put on before the end of June so that will be done.* Will either order a pulley kit or sand blast abd paint mine.
Here is the list of items I have found so far I will need: Is there anything else missing besides gaskets and bolts? Probably need to shop around a bit for better pricing too, trying to keep it around 3k if I can or under.
