O.K. Bugdewde, you got my attention with that. I thought that I would start a new thread instead of taking over that other one. I have Questions.
How much smaller is this compared to a small block Chevy? How much more room is there in between the rad. and the engine? I saw a Skyhawk in a Kingman Az. junkyard that had a Ford 302 in it, and was amazed at how much more clearance there was for the steering shaft.
What about the oil pan - any issues with the center link?
Are a lot of headers available or would they have to be custom made?
I suppose that the brackets for Alt. Power steering pump and Air cond. pump would have to be self-made?
And what about the motor mounts?
With this, and any engine with a compresion ratio of 11 to 1 does it require a higher octane than 87?
