Tech & Installation Notes

• Long Block Configuration: As a standard rule, all LCE long blocks are delivered completely sealed from the valve cover down to the oil pan. They do not include the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, distributor/ignition system, alternator, power steering pump, or A/C compressor. You will need to transfer these components from your original engine during installation.
• Head Style Selection: Please verify whether your vehicle requires a 4-port or 8-port cylinder head design before ordering.
