Building the 267 ?

[G-Body_Vet]

Let me run this by you...The L99 (AKA baby LT1) was 4.3L and similar bore/stroke to the 267. It also had the benefit of longer rods, better flowing heads and obviously EFI -- which is more up your alley. I would think that it would make a pretty good foundation for a small displacement turbo build without custom parts and machining. Probably a cam swap, set of injectors, and a tune would really wake one up. At one point these were pretty much throwaway engines but lately they seem to be getting scarce.

Lets not forget the Syclone and Typhoon with the turbo 4.3. I would definitely lean towards something more modern than a 267. Anything fuel injected is modern for me though :lol:

That's a good point. They were certainly no slouch but don't really fit in the small bore, short stroke V8 category. At least that's what I thought the OP was shooting for.

Well idk if the OP is going to keep on his plan or not but that 4.3 is as you say an L99 right up the street from me not going anywhere right now, a 94-96 caprice is the car its in. Its definitely on a short list of deals I'm considering trying to get a powertrain together for my new cutty project too. Unless I find a better deal on a 350 truck motor or something I may be going w/ this 4.3 as well since I could probably talk him out of the working 4l60E for dirt cheap right after that. Huge problem for him is the computer is being stupid thats pretty much what has the car sidelined to begin w. Of course on a turbo build the stock computer becomes junk anyway though of course *_^
