Looking to swap in a 5.3l vortec from a 2001 chevy truck into my vega. Looking to see if anyone has done this.
I want to avoid opening up the engine because it is low mile and leak free.
Can I run a vortec intake on it and use a carb and hei?
Does the stock cam have the gear for hei?
can I use my hooker front engine mounts (bolt to water pump) like the sbc?
I would be removing all accessories except for alternator, is there a short serpentine belt to use or can I use my v belt pulleys?
I can get a killer deal on this motor and it sounds awesome so I hope I can make it work. Has anyone done this on a vega?
Ps I already have a 700r4 Trans that should mate up nicely.
