Looking for some GM engine info - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Does any one have the specs for the GM LL8/Vortech 4200? I'm looking for outside dimensions and wet weight, as well as transmission options.

I am considering this engine for a swap. Originally I wanted a VH45DE but this engine puts out the same power in a smaller package with better mpg and emissions. My future plans(if I go through with it) include a turbo.

I like to think of it as a big block RB

even though there is little in common.

Thanks for any help

p.s. If you could point me towards a good forum that would be good to.

ok. . .

Does any one have any long/short term experience with this motor?
Any inherent problems with this motor, such as a plastic water pump a la Volkswagen?
