[Chevelle-list] Swappable

[mike f]

Sounds great to me. Everything will bolt up. However, mine seened to lay down at the higher RPM range with the factory A/C fuel pump and Quadrajet 650. So, I upgraded to a 750 and a holley 110 gph mechanical fuel pump. 

my 2cents worth.

I am attempting to decide which engine I am going to swap for my existing 350ci.  I am considering the GM Crate 383ci 405hp partly because it  comes short some parts.  Will the following parts from my 350ci work on the 383ci, MSD distributor, water pump, flex-plate, and harmonic balancer.  I already know my headers will fit and I have a good working carb. I can use.  I think the 350 and the 383 are the same block with just a different bore and stroke (probably not quite that simple)in which case these parts should be interchangeable. The one I am the most uncertain of is the distributor.  If the parts are not interchangeable I will then probably have to go with another 350ci that I can use these parts on.  Would be nice to have the extra power of the 383ci though.  
Currently I am having a upgraded 700R4 transmission installed with a 2400 rpm lock-out converter along with either 3.55 or 3.73 gears (will make that decision in the next couple of days) including having posi. installed.  
I think this combination should match up well with the 383ci, or if I have to, any of the 350ci crate engines. 
Thanks in advance for your help. 
 
I should have waited until Christmas, but it’s too late now.  I guess I will just have to look at it as a early Christmas present to myself that the wife doesn’t know about.  Oh! Oh!  Another bad boy.  Our cars do seem to get us in trouble once in a while in one way or another don’t they?
