    I was very disappointed when I learned the L30 head did not receive the same development work as the L31 version. The L30 head is similar to the previous L03 other than the 8 bolt intake pattern and...

    That's not much gain. You might see greater fuel economy with the new heads but it's hard to predict that. Ultimately if putting the engine together with parts you have gets the truck on the road...

    283 was a nice engine and very fuel efficient although it doesn't produce a ton of torque.

    Knock sensor should match bore diameter as close as possible. A 3.8 / 3800 Buick engine is probably...
