O.K.... i dont really know how to say this but about 3 weeks ago i blew the 4.7 in my 02 quad cab sport, i mean as fast as my pressure machine could put pressure in the radiator, it was dumping coolant into all 8 cylinders, yeah, i know.Ever since, ive been weighing my options and this is what ive came up with. I BUILT A 400+HP SBC FOR AN S10 PROJECT IVE HAD FOR AWHILE NOW, ive done some measuring and since i dont really want to pay in excess of $2000 for a plane jane 4.7 im gonna put in the sbc with a th400 behind it. I would love any and all comments , good and bad, on this. any tech advice would be awsome also. so unless you gotta spare 4.7 layin around for cheap, you'll be getting some regular pics and updates as it comes along Lemme have it.

 

I know I'm gonna get reamed for this but...Dude go for it. I work at a major Chevy performance parts dealer and I've often thought about dropping in a cheap, reliable, LS motor. The availability of parts and ease of maintainance and installation would alone be worth it. I would love to put a 392 HEMI in for my 4.7 but at $15 grand +, a 383ci GM small blockcan be pushed to 500+hp for well around half of that. Plus it would take haf a year to get any HEMI when GM smal blocks are stock piled and waiting to be shipped. Let us know!
