LONESTAR OWNERS. will a 385 series engine fit ?
Still thinking of two engines, either another FE, or maybe,.......a 460.
I have a 2000 Lonestar and I built it with a 428FE, FE motor mounts of course, Tremek TKO 500.
I have a brand new FE scatter shield, flywheel, clutch etc.
If,.....I go with a 385/514cu. I'll have to sell of trade for 385 series parts.
Anyway, have any of you installed a 385 motor or know for sure, if these engines will fit under the hood ?
I was mad that with a FE ,the turkey pan will not fit ! (only thing I don't like with the Lonestar)
And with my 428FE, I had to machine the carb surface 3/8" when I changed the intake manifold from the Edelbrock RPM to the Air Gap.
So, I don't know if the 385 engine ?
I would need measurments of both blocks from the pan surface to the intake surface.
Faster and easier,.....I would like to find someone that has a 460 built, so measurments from the pan to top of the carb would be great.
