You will be so happy if you drop a crate 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2 in instead of spending $7k on an old crappy SBC. So, I know what spending good money on bad ideas is all about and results in. I should have listened to those telling me the newer technology in the 8.1 was far and beyond the older vortec architecture and pursued a motor swap, or just went with a remanned stock engine swap. I've dumped thousands into a stroked vortec 454 rebuild (489ci engine now) only to have the same old dog of an engine, with a bit more torque and a nice sounding lope. Basically I just have no clue about the newer stuff and am probably too old to start learning it. Most of the driving 40's I have had over the last 30 years have either been the 2F or an old school carb fed 350. You'd be hard pressed to break the TH400 or the NP205. Besides the engine needs to connect to my TH400 auto (old school and no OD) which connects to the NP205 transfer case (more old school). I recognize everything on an old school crate 350 and can probably access everything on it on the side of the road if necessary. I need to keep it simple and reliable while keeping in mind that electrical & wiring are my enemies (I cant begin to tell you how much I despise wiring and electrical). Only one little computer and one O2 sensor for the Sniper EFI IIRC. Looked like a mile of wiring harness and I assume a ton of sensors, electronics, and computers. Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately I have no idea and probably even less than that, if that's possible, about those newer engines and what is a Terminator X? I looked up Vortec 6200 L92 if that is what you are talking about. It's all new and yes they are casting a brand new block here in the USA (not sure if it's in a backyard or not ).
