Hello Guys,
I am in the process of replacing our port engine, 1988 Crusader 220 (Chevy 305-5L) and I have found in our vicinity completely rebuilt 1988 Chevy Silverado engine with throttle body injection TBI intake manifold, not for carburetor. The Silverado engine has new camshaft and crankshaft, balanced rod set, block was fluxed, cleaned and bored, it has new cam bushings and all new bearings, seals and freeze plugs. New high volume oil pump, new timing chain and gears,. Camshaft was torque ground for truck, head work done with new valves, springs, lifters. Engine was rebuilt a few years ago and placed in storage, but well oiled and preserved. It can be turned by hand for smooth rotation.
Assuming that the engine is good and functional the questions to you are:
1. Can the intake manifold from the old Crusader engine be used on this Silverado engine?
2. Would the raw water manifolds and risers fit on the engine block to the Silverado engine exhaust ports and bolt holes?
3. Would the engine mounts be the same?
4. Would the flywheel assembly from Crusader fit this engine?
Your kind replies are greatly appreciated.
