4.8 to 7.0 & trans swaps
« on: June 26, 2010, 05:45:55 AM »
Well folks I found a place that says they can install any V8 from 4.8 to 7.0 and they can/will do trans swaps

Now if I just had a little money................

I'm leaning towards a 5.3................. :)

It's close enough to my 283's and 327's I dearly love.......... :agree:

YEP A 5.3.......painted CORVETTE BLUE......... WITH A LITTLE CHROME...... :drive:

kind of like a 62 vette............. :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Mallett recently went bankrupt for the 3rd or 4th time and may have resurfaced. Probably would NOT want my car in THEIR building.

FWIW, there is a company here in Lees Summit that sells "over run" complete engines. These are direct from either the domestic manufacturer or engine contract builder. And they are CHEAP !!!!!!!!!!! Google Dahmer Powertrain.
