Good evening,
I am asking if anyone has experience with using a late model roller 5.8L into our early cars. Im trying to decide if i can use the short block with a cam swap and my edelbrock heads.
What is the engine balance (0, 28, 50 oz), can i use my early timing cover and 1 piece fuel pump eccentric? Also, what is the stock piston material and compression ratio. Im interested in just using the short block, i found one in great shape, and id like to use my current sfi balancer and billet flywheel.
Are there any other issues with my idea? THanks for your experience and help!
Mike
