I thought you were talking about 8.1 being a "vortec"

You should write a book with all that knowledge

Nice, 8.1's kickass. Dad's suburban (now the ranch vehicle) has the original 8.1 with 300k+ miles on it, still running strong.

I guess this means we'll be having a sand drag rematch...

Was this a one time deal, or is there a semi-steady supply there? I am in no hurry, just wondering.

One time deal. He had it in a 54 belair, pulled it to put in a pontiac 389 (I think)
