I am wanting to get an engine that can switch back and forth from 4 cylinders to 8. Is there such a thing, and if so, can it be used in my 78 Chevy truck? Replies to this message: tireguy (May 03, 2007 11:19 am) infoplease (Jul 14, 2008 7:22 pm) kcram (Jul 17, 2008 5:20 am)

Replying to: chevy_lover (Apr 11, 2007 8:58 pm) Of course there is an engine that does this; they're called multi-displacement engines (5.3L Vortec, 5.7L Hemi). Not to sound insulting, but since you didn't know that, I'm going to assume this project is way over your head. It would involve swapping in an entire new engine and fuel management system to a truck which wasn't even fuel injected in the first place. And it's definitely not worth it to pay someone to do this on a 78 chevy pickup. Replies to this message: infoplease (Jul 14, 2008 7:22 pm) kcram (Jul 17, 2008 5:20 am)

Anyone know what my basic timing for a 350 (383) bored over with HEI ignition would be? Also my timing tab above the balancer is rusted and painted and very hard to get to, to sand down. Anyone know by description, what points are what degrees advance or retard? Thanks for the help in advance.

Replying to: infoplease (Jul 14, 2008 7:22 pm) I tend to recommend against putting "electronic" (especially OBD-II) engine into older vehicles simply because you also need all the electronics to come with it. All the 2003 computers, wiring, and sensors have to be there for the engine to run properly.   kcram - Pickups Host
