84 chevy corvette no engine.
Hello everyone I'm new here and i want to get some ideas from everyone. I just picked up a 84 c4 with no engine. I would like to know what i can swap in without going through hell. I want little bit more horse power. Maybe the stock engine with cams and headers and getting rid of the crossfire system? Or another engine swap? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you everyone

any small block chevy will fit

Would that be just a drop in or any mods needs to be done? Thank you for the reply

the engine itself is a drop in. Loes of small details to do if you want it street driven. Race? , drop it in and go.

Now, it has been done, but it won't be a plug and play. |
Put an LS in it!

Unless you keep your Cross Fire system you will have significant electrical mods and computer/sensor changes.
Now, it has been done, but it won't be a plug and play. To get it to run with a carb, all you need is 12v to the hei. |
Thank you all for the replies. Im trying to stay away from electrical. I am very mechanically inclined but when it comes to electrical im alittle iffy. I want more of drop in and build on top of it.
|
I want to get over 300 hp or more. There's no engine right now. Im trying to get ideas before i start buying stuff
|
What if i was to build on top of the original c4 engine? Cams, headers, ecm chip and etc etc?
|
In a recent magazine, they had an 84 crossfire with some mods. Not extravagant but reasonable. It was into the 11 sec 1/4 if I remember right. Rear gear, Cai, nitrous are some of what I remember reading.
There is also a large crossfire section in c3 that covers much of what you may encounter. I have used this info for my c3 croosfire. |
Thank you for the reply. I was thinking getting the same engine build that up with an fuel pump from 85 corvette. Nitrous sounds like a good idea. What about Cams?
|
the crossfire system uses around the same fuel pressure as a carb. That 85 uses a FI fuel pressure of around 35 , the CF only around 15 or less. That means you would have to get an adjustable fuel reg or gas will over power your carb. That's if I remember right.
|
Thank you for the replies. I want to be able to make some horsepower over 300 hp but i dont want to go through ls swap. Its not going to be a daily driver. There is no engine in it right now

Would i need to change the wiring harness?
|
Dino... Can you give an honest assessment of your mechanical skill level as swapping out your L83 for something different will be a trick---- unless you pay someone.
|
I can do all of the mechanical stuff with no problem at all. When it comes to wiring i dont know too much thats why i want to stay away from doing ls swap. If i had a guide for wiring i can but i looked everywhere and theres no real guide
