Thread:

BBC swap with SBC??

just want to know what all is involved in swapping a BBC out and dropping a SBC in? can the rail kit be reused? drive line? is there a big difference in the physical size of the blocks?
the reason for this post is that i am toying with the idea of maybe building a mild small block to drop in for playing around every weekend (pump gas) then for certain events or big lake outtings/gatherings, drop the big motor back in it. would it be more in my favor to do this or just build a mild big block so i know everything will switch right over without making drastic changes. thanks for any input.

Yea i think that would be the best thing to do, that way its just a matter of switching mota's. thanks, just wasnt sure how drastic it would be to go to a small block. well the hunt begins now for a BBC

hahaahaha just a little.....I am just starting to chringe at me going out every single weekend and burning that 110 is going to burn the chit out of my pocket. id rather have a simple big block pump gas to go putt around the river with, then slap that power plant in there for the more serious weekend trips
