Default engine swap question

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33615

ive been looking at the engine for some time now and ive been thinking about swaping that into my 78 and figuring out how to get it smoged later haha but will it hook up just fine to my auto tranny just fine and be ok with the other things?

ive seen some of you that have bought these engines how do you like them?

thanks, dave

Well, I can certainly vouch for the "value" being at $5895. That's pert near what my engine cost to have done here in San Diego. And it sure as shootin' ain't puttin out over 400HP! :smash:

Hey There Dave:
I think GrandsportC3 has one of these motors. He likes it...no problems. Maybe he'll chime in with comments.

My 406 is an AR Racing Engine (engine paint/valve covers by Lars):

Looks to be of good quality so far, but it's not in yet (this weekend - weather permitting).

E-mail me for details.
