Do you guys think this will make enough torque, or should I add a blower? LOL

Re: New project

It looks like a drivetrain and suspension upgrade will be in order. Hey maybe a big radiator with a Peterbuilt emblem on the front.

Re: New project

I remember reading about those a few years ago. There is an outfit somewhere that builds V12's and V16's by welding the cranks together on 4.2 v6's or 5.0 or 5.7 gen 1 small block Chevies. I doubt if they will pass smog.

Really it could be an unaddresed issue in the smog laws if you joined two acceptable smog motors, I highly doubt anyone in sac has a brain that functions well enough to forsee that one coming.
