Advice sought before B23E block goes in...

Like the others said, this is a direct swap. You don't need to be concerned with anything regarding injection, electronics, etc...

I have a B23F w/K-cam, and I'm using a stock NA clutch. I just installed a new clutch before the K went in (the original clutch went 235K miles!) I can spin my 225-50/16s with a 3K RPM clutch drop, so I think the clutch will last a while.

I just bought a spare 398 head to do a port & polish on - I'm curious how/what exactly you did, and what you thought of the results. Please keep me informed of your progress!
