I brought this up awhile back and Matt kinda got me thinking again... would my 85 heads, intake, cam, cam sensor... work on my 79 block? It was a blowthru engine, I`m sure the heads, intake and hopefully the cam should fit, but wound the cam sensor fit in where my distributor is? I`v never tried it, so I thought I`d see if anyone else has before I do. If it don`t work, couldn't I just swap timing covers? The 85 and 79 blocks are the same, other than the timing cover, oil pan and the 79 didn't have a knock sensor.. other than that their the same. My point in all this is to avoid having to remove the old engine... maybe I`m just being lazy:biggrin:
