Engine replacements

[penny & bob mckinley]

Howdy,
Have looked at several GMCs and most have high miles on the original 455
or 403 engines. What is the best route to take for an engine
replacement, look for a good block and build up from there or by new??
Also, what engine and what drive train?? And finally, is there a good
electronic fuel injection retrofit? HELP.
Bob

Check out Holley's web page for fuel injection. Use stock intake manifold if
you go ahead with a TBI retrofit. They also have a tech. page for injection.

HP BOOKS publishes a good paperback on TBI retrofit with some good advice.

You might want to take a look at Jasper engines www.jasperengines.com
They rebuild the 455 just for the motorhome. Harden crank ssvalves
rv cam drill out the water passages, harden valve seats, ect. The
last time I checked they wanted about $3400
