Basicly I'm just pulling the engine out of my Roadmaster and dropping it in my Z28. It was good for 12.99 @118mph (on 150shot, and mods in sig.) in the b-body. I droped the cradle, and got the engine/tranny bolted back on last night. I'm gunna slap it back in tonight. Any tips? What should elese I do while its out.

I'm planning on installing plugs, wires, headers, FP reg. Anything else that will make my life easier?

What's the budget?

Oh and what are "ported 1LE heads"?

 

1LE are stock aluminum heads. The B-Bodys have iron heads (actually flow better the stock aluminum), sorry I'm new to the F-Body world, lol. Right now I'm on a pretty tight budget, but as previously stated this engine pushed a 4700 lb. car into the high 12's. I'm not looking to buy more parts. I just would like to know what I should put on the motor befor I drop the body back on it.

Anytime a motor is out I do rings and bearings unless they were done very recently and it wasn't hurt.

only about 1500 miles on engine

 

headers would be a good idea

 

Didn't think it was wise to re-ring if your not going to hone the block bores?

 

True, but in a mild motor with the bores in good shape all you need to do is run a ball hone through the bores lightly. However, with 1,500miles I'd leave it be except for the plugs. Which I would ALWAYS do in a 4th gen F-body with the motor out.

Lol, you got that right. Plugs are never a fun task, the only easy way is when the motor is out

I did plugs in a 3rd gen with headers, I thought that was worse then the 4th gen with headers!

 

I already said headers, anything not listed?
