v3 intake manifold adaptor to v7 block

[Guest]

or another idea... what would it take to put the full v7 long block and manifold etc in my car and track down a v7 loom and ecu and get that wired up into my body? would it be worth it? i already have the v7 longblock sitting in the engine bay.

But by the time you've bought new head gaskets and head studs and had your heads skimmed (if your doing it properly) it'll probably end up costing the same if not more than getting adaptors made. and you'll miss out on the better flowing heads.

The only sensor drama you'll have has to do with the crank and cam sensors, but you can just use your old sensors and all you need to change is the trigger toothed pulley on the crank, old ones have about 7-8 timing points and new ones have 20+ timing points like this....

Im stuck with all these options will this definately work?
