1998 Engine Change
Hello;
I like my 1998 Corvette so much that I want to keep it until it's done. What kind of Engine can I put in?, Any C5 Engine is ok?
Where can I get an engine for it? What price?
Thanks

If you have the know-how or the cash to have it done, the LS6 would be a good option. And Fred Beans would be a good choice to check on prices.

ditto with what the guys stated above.
To tell you hoenstly, if you dedicated yourself and a few good, knowledgeable Vette guys, you can do this swap by yourselves. i pulled my motor this past weekend, just me and a good friend who knew how to. we did it in 10hrs, with basic hand tools. its literally a lot of bolts that are str8 forward and electrical clips/plugs.
now the question is, what kinda of motor do you want. hi performance or simple stock replacement. now would be a time to consider a big cube motor for power! i dunno packages available, but many these days are very reasonably priced and ready to bolt in. i would go with a 402 or 408, should cost about 15K all said and done. will make 500+ rwhp easy! (assuming your a manual trans) my 427 thru and A4 tran with a 4000 stall makes about 520rwhp. but after this re-built, i should be making 550 rwhp.
Post up more details so people can give you a more in depth opinions
