I want to up grade my 3.3 to something better... Im really leaning to the tm523 but I have a trinity pipe that i want to continue to use... I know they sell the 523 without the pipe but its $250.

Or if you want to stick with a small block and just use a bump start the O.S. 18tz is a great motor. Thats what I run. And for only $140 its a good motor. Then you just need to get a starter box. Finding one used isn't that hard to use either. And usually they go for around $60 used.

a picco is not a direct drop.. it requires a new mount. os .21 or .18 are the two best direct drops
