Just went reading through some of my old posts and you could probably use generic racing mounts as the motor mounts and elminate alot of hassel.Heres a link to site that will show the potential of these motors.

Most people don't want to break their rigs with 400 lbs of torque. Rather, they want a bit more up and go, possibly better fuel economy and "enough" torque. In all seriousness, a 5.0 has plenty of torque for wheeling, especially when you get into transfer cases, duals and the like.

I dont meen to get hostile but dont call me dawg.I didnt say that the 350 and 5.0 dont have tourque I just dont think they have enough.Plus they were meant to be hi winding motors not lowend tourque engines thats all Im saying.
And I know theres crawlers on here and I dont get why they dont go for olds engines for the lowend tourque I guess Im just a crazy sob.

Your question is why do people go with Chevy and Ford small blocks? Cheap reliable horsepower and torque. Try building a 400hp motor for under $600 with a 4 cylinder or even a 6 cylinder engine, your not going to do it. V8 engines have a broader torque range than a 4 or 6 cylinder. When your turning big tires and climbing steep obstacles you need low end torque or a lot of gearing. James

To much power possibly. BUt the simplest answer is its a very common engine to use (moreso the chevy) and its also a very common engine and parts are a plenty
everywhere. You sir have no clue about engines..sorry.

one word. cost. see what kind of money it takes to get 300 ponies out of a 4 or 6 cylinder engine. you'll spend major bucks getting it there with natural aspiration, and forced induction isn't exactly cheap either. see if you can find 330 hp and 380 ft./lbs. of torque complete with intake manifold and a fuel system for less than $3700 in anything other than a ford or chevy small block. oh not to mention a 2 year 50k warranty serviceable at any GM dealer nation-wide.
Summit Racing the buick, pontiac and olds engines though somewhat compatible just don' have the aftermarket following that chevy does. which means more expensive custom fabrication.

Well I've struck a never here so next time I'll keep my oppinions to myself.As far as me knowing about motors goes I've built them since I was 8yrs old with my dad so I think I know what I'm talking about.Oh and let me rephrase my statement they dont have enough tourque for me.

ok question for you: whats cheaper to build: a chev 350 SB/Ford SB, or a OLDS? we go by PRICE v. quality here. we'd all love to have a Ferrari engine in our rigs, (since theyre well built motors) but they cost too much, and have too much torque. u put 400 ft/lbs of torque on a frame thats designed to handle maybe 300 at absolute most, you start bending and braking stuff FAST. remember: just because it can be done, sometimes it shouldnt be. no one is sayin you dont know how to build engines, you just need to learn to build only what you need, not build something that will tweak your frame from having so much power.

Chevy's definately cheaper.I understand about how you need to build to the limit of the frame but can't you reinforce it?Or would it be to much hassel and to much money?BTW this may turn into a engine build thread because I just found out my autoshop teacher is thinking about making each and everyone of us do a project as part of our grade this summer(I take automotive classes in the summer).
