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….) |

When you put aluminum heads and intake, you remove much of the "top" weight from the v of the engine. Going with an aluminum block would remove even more.
Making it much like a six, almost the same weight I believe. With more more tq and better weight balance with the radiator up front. Look at the pictures of my v8 on the track... Compare it to the 4 cylanders... Which one looked like it leaned more? Its all fixed with suspension. |
