Reply to "LT-4 engine install"

George PAdmin.

My concern would be the ability of the chassis, gearbox, and cooling system to handle the level of power you're quoting.

I don't think a Chevy crate engine is any worse than the other modifications people make; such as Campy clone wheels, or a big block Ford V8. Modification is modification. I know it will impact the value of your car, if that's no problem for you, who's to criticize what you choose to do with your car? I say let the car fulfill your dream or vision.

I like Doug's advice to install an alternative engine that shall require no modification in the engine compartment to install it, that way the car can be put back to "original" at some point in the future by you or a future owner (if you save the original engine and parts).
