It used to be that there was about 100 companies that made V8 swap kits to put in the small block Chevy. Seriously, the frame, or lack thereof, couldn't take it. There also used to be a bunch of companies that would advertise in the back of the car magazines that offered blocks that had the good sleeves put in.
