Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

Again.... I am not nor do I have intension of taking it to the drag strip. I simply want that type of power. If I am at a light and some kid wants to run it, I want to win. Hell my wife is the same way... she drives a big old caddy and wil nail it when the light turns green if some one is trying to push her out. I guess what I am trying to say is I want the same acceleration or close to.... that of a new corvette. I have also have been involved with other folks that have twin turbos and thought nothing about racing light to light. everyone does a little drag racing from time to time. I am building the car for fun.
My understanding on trans is that a 901 would handle 330 hp. |
