Engine Install Basics - R & R

Brutally basic tech on how to remove and replace an engineInternally, we've joked forever about a story like this one: how to install a small-block Chevy in a car that came with a small-block Chevy. What could be more self-evident? What could have been covered more times than that?inline_mediumwraptextrightHere's the Smeding Performance 383 Extreme crate engine we're installing. According to the dyno sheet that came with it, the motor makes 441 hp at 5,400 rpm and 423 lb-ft at 4,000 to 4,300 rpm. It has 9.8:1 compression, aluminum heads, and a 231/236-at-0.050 hydraulic roller camshaft with a 111-degree lobe-separation angle. This is an older version of the engine with a Holley carb; Smeding now uses a Quick Fuel 750 atop the Air-Gap manifold.26315456/techarticles/engine/hrdp_1002_engine_install_basicshrdp_1002_01+engine _install_basics_guide+.jpgTrue
