Hello everyone,
I had previously posted a thread about SVE heads (which was answered, thank you). After learning that I also had to buy rocker arms, hardened push rods, lifters?, gaskets etc the original spend of $800-900 quickly escalated. I was looking at the SVE top end kit on LMR https://lmr.com/item/LRS-6049B-K/sve-top-end-engine-kit-carbureted-7985 . My questions is this... If i already have a gt40 intake (internal egr) why could I buy this kit and install my gt40 as opposed to the carb intake? I have to be missing something, because the top end kit for an EFI engine is like $1000 more expensive (it does include upper and lower plenum, which again, I dont need.
Could it be the bolt pattern on the heads are different? It mentions that it only works on roller blocks which I believe I have.
My car:
1989 LX 5.0 - 107k original miles. Engine is stock except for BBK cold air and headers. 3.73 gears, SLP exhaust, some suspension work. 5 spd.
Thanks!
