Any motor can be put in our trucks with some time and money! Hell, I could put the 132 CI from my S-10 if I didnt take my pills one day!

No, but that engine isnt the same block as ours.

Seeing as the bolt pattern on the VC's are 10 bolt, that means those are Magnum heads and it started as FI. The builder took the initiative to carb it.

You'd need a intake with injector bungs (including injectors with the correct harness plugs, and fuel rail mounts), a TB, and a flexplate for the appropriate trans.

Not 100% sure on the water pump specs, the fancy pulley is blocking too much of the pump itself. Doesn't look like the bypass is in exactly the same place and that could cause issues with the accessory bracket on reinstall.

Any engine could be made EFI. That one would be easy. Just throw a M1 or air gap on it and you got everything else.


Now a real old engine gets a little more expensive. The build I wanna do for my stang at some point using a 70's 460 is a little tougher. IF I decide to EFI it I'm looking at a couple grand just in the EFI parts. You basically have to buy a manifold with a tb style fuel injection thats all ready made up.

Also in the long block picture, they use the 5 bolt covers... I guess you would have to call and make sure on what you are getting for sure since the words don't match the pictures. Hmm... i wonder what the price is on that short block jk, I am broke. Also if you get the long block, I doubt that cam is the one you would wan't in your truck.

I'd just build my own for that price. Hell, the truck it would be going in is only worth $4,000!
