looks like fun hehe.. if i go for it, should i do alum or cast iron heads? and what kinda tranny? oh yah, and gears.. whatcha all think? think i can squeeze in a blower? yah so i admit, engines arent my best subject.. but id appreciate any opinions/suggestions! thanks guys!

 

Isnt there a cheaper way to make that kind of poweR?

 

Looks like a $15K project at mininum. Do you really wan to go there?

 

yah that was kinda the point of my question i guess.. too tired to elucidate tho is there a better way to do it?

 

There's a hundred and one engine combos that you can build "in the arena" for under 9000. Look at some of the popular build ups!

 

EDIT: double post

 

WHY????


if you really have money to burn I can find the article of a guy who put a 802 or something about that large.... in his first gen camaro and yes I am not lying I think it was like an 802
I know for sure it had at least 700 cubs under the hood
maybe I need to find that article for myself again


thing put out 800 hp on pump gas without any turbo,n2o, or s/c


now he put a blower on it I think and is making well into 1200 hp on a street car

 

Any street car that gets only 1 mpg, is no longer a street car in my books

 

LMAO, if you have the $ it still is Just get a very large fuel tank

 

Or a Mullins trailer converted to a fuel tanker

 

think it was getting around 10-15 mpg

well off to look for the write up on it

 

I rarely get 15 in my beast
thats because i spin the tires at every stoplight, and race anything i find... ANYTHING.

 

now I know why I haven't switched to a thirdgen yet


get about 22-24mpg

and still can (if the car is running) pull off some nice 1/4


oh well end to that
N/A is going back in gas will go up a tad and speed will drop a lot :-(

 

tons of people get well over 20 mpg with their 5.7's Take Glenn98 for example. It's all in the prom
