which engine would you get

which engine would you get for a street car and daily driver. Would you get a fast burn 385, or 454 HO, or a 502 HO.

For a daily driver, I would look into a 5.7 to conserve gas mileage, but that's just my opinion. You can still make great power and torque from a 350. My question is can you swap a bbc into a thirdgen and still pass emissions/ be legal. In Ca, I know that would have to be borderline as my 350 has a hard enough time with emission restrictions, and it's stock.

Well, both users profiles have the same car listed, asking almost the same question. Seems like they are the same person.

I'll be nice and repost the answer to your question, and the actual question you want to ask.

Good luck to you. You may want to rethink your priorities and then repost.



Now that that's out of the way, I will reiterate the following as you have now started THREE threads for the same damn question.

Apparently you don't like the answer. It's reality. Live with it. Or maybe you still want a pony?

I hope they ban you for utter stupidity rather than take the typical road of putting you on 'probation'. The smart thing would have been to email the admin, instead you decide to come right back and start this crap again.
