not sure which post.
the gm 2.5 and 3.0 liter engines used in forklifts, industrial and marine applications are great candidates for reuse.
they use a common SBC bellhousing bolt pattern.
3.0 has a 4" bore
cross flow heads are available for the 4 bangers too.
i have 2 extra 3.0 from forklifts. rebuilt another in the past, they are great engines. tom
