Thanks for all the replies on my prior post about the dolphin engine swap. I finally reached the mechanic who did the work on the vehicle, and he made some corrections on the info given me by the seller.
He says the engine is actually 1995 LT1 from a super sport impala. The tranny is a 400 turbo,,brand new. he said he "geared up" the engine with 307 gears ..whatever that means... and something about a Mercedes radiator . The MPG he was figuring about 17 mpg..the lower end of my figure.
Anyway..i dont know about this engine but it seems to be in great shape and according to the mechanic..who is going to be giving me the receipts...the guy put all together close to 10,000 dollars into it. Seems not bad for 2, 400 dollars I paid...
Thoughts on this engine ? Crap, ok, good, ???
