Just a guess but hooker headers should fit, I would go with at least 3 inch pipes.

3 inch, or 3 ft pipes?

Oh and the stock radiator should cool that no problem if you have a fan shroud.

Check with Mighty Mouse for spring rates on the front coil over shocks. You will need the extra room for the oil pan to fit correct.

You know, the more I look at that the more I wonder if maybe there was a mix up. Maybe someone confused metric for standard units? Ordered a 350 cubic inch, and they delivered a 350 cubic liter? You know NASA did that a few years back on some Mars probe and missed by several thousand miles... could happen.

You may want to get a 400 trans as I think a 350 would not last long.

It's been said here that If he does not intend to race or put stickey tires he should be ok.

Actually if I just had the oil pan, flip it upside down and cut a hole in one end, I could park 2 or 3 LUVs in it like a garage. :lol:
I wonder what the cubic feet displacement that thing is.

It wouldn't be cubic inches it would be cubic yards if not cubic miles! I think it is out of a big earth mover for coal and salt mines.

From what I read from where I got the pic, it's most likely for a ship.

These engines are built in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 cylinder configurations. All the engines are straight or 'inline'. The diameter of each cylinder is 3 foot 2 inches with a stroke of 8 foot 2 inches. The 12 cylinder version weighs in at 2000 metric tons and delivers 90,000 Horse Power at 100 Revs per minute, with best fuel economy at 53,244 HP at 90 Rpm.When I mention economy, the 14 cylinder engine for example with a displacement of 25,480 Litres ( 1.56 million cubic inches ) burns up 1,660 gallons of crude ('bunker') oil every hour.
