So you're saying that there are no competent mechanics in your area?

Sorry to tell you guys, but a 4 bolt is the only option for me,
Sounds like you know even less about engines than your mechanic does. That's unfortunate, for your bank account.

Either one of those is a good option. They both have nice reasonable roller cams and good vortec iron heads and should last basically forever.
The 4 bolt version has a brand new block and intake and carb, so it is more complete.
But it won't last a minute longer or make 1hp more just cause it's a 4-bolt.
It's your money....

So far I have found this https://blueprintengines.com/product...or-bp35511ctc1 it doesn’t have to high compression ratio, which i want. Do you have any other recomandations or is this the perfect engine? Your answer is much appreciated
Highly recommend you speak with Johnny McDevitt at Blueprintengines.com
