ok ive made my decision....

im trading in my formula for a civic..........................................................................................................................................................................................................AHAHA scared you didnt i? ive been talking around on here about motor swaps, 350,454. Well i talked my dad into giving me his 327 block since his friend is giving him a 68 mercury montego, i figured if he gets that i should get a motor and he agreed so yeah winter is coming which means so is my new motor in march or april maybe, i will definitely have questions to ask while im doing it but mostly electronic stuff. so ill put pictures up if i can once i get started.

That 327 will be a nice improvement over a 305

What kind of 327 though? Large journal or small journal?

its a small journal i beleive like i said the block is my dads so ill ask him, im gonna have alot of money for this project over the winter, my dad had a 327 with 450 horse so im hoping to build mine the same or maybe a little more, im hoping 450-500 (im not kidding either, he did so can i), when i save ten billion dollars for a supercharger then im gonna slap one of those on.....far cry from whats in it now. Its a bare block so i have every option to add something high performance. Whos gonna want a ride?

For 10 billion $, you could get a few enzos... (im kidding, I know you were just joking there) but serisouly you can get some used turbos off Ebay and set up forced induction on the cheap. (i've always been a SC guy but I'm starting to lean more towards turbos simply because they are superior to superchargers.
