Vette(s): 1972 base engine coupe. RPOs AV3, C60, M40, N37, N40, PO2, U79
Hard to say what's available over the water in Bahrain but you'd do well to visit a GM dealer in Saudi and order one of the many available small block crate engines.

Just remember, you still will have to run your ECM if you have a Crossfire. The ECM controls your torque convertor, and some temp items.

I ordered my engine from Pace Parts:http://www.paceparts.com/store.asp

They had the cheapest price I could find. They also were very knowledgable about what I could put in my '79.

Give 'em a try!
