    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Almost a drop-in Installing in an older Corvette. It came with bronze pilot bearing installed and oil dip stick plugs for left and right side in a bag in the valley. Keeping the old stock unvented Vette valve covers was a problem. This block does not have the rear valley vent casting. It was also necessary to drill and tap the 1/4 - 20 hole for the spark plug heat shield in the right rear of the block the other three were correctly drilled and tapped. Shipping was fast only four days.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rear Main Leak Rear main seal leaked on initial startup after placing in custom truck. Wouldn’t know if GM warranty is any good because they NEVER CALLED ME BACK! Nothing but wasted time & money.

    I've been thinking about installing the Holley Sniper EFI system on this engine. Been told that the cam has to be matched to the sniper system. The camshaft has to have a 114 lobe separation or the engine will not run right. Will it work?

    Asked by: Mr Mike S
    That cam should work with the Sniper system. You need an engine that makes at least 8 inches of vacuum. most 114 degree cams will do that.

    What are the 4 brackets found on the top of the valve covers used for? Can they be removed or do they serve a purpose?

    Asked by: SLM1
    These are used for some of the hose and spark plug wire routing. You could cut these off.
