I have started gathering parts to build a large journal 302. This is the engine this car needs to really work. The 350 is made to move a truck, where as a 302 makes the best balance of HP and torque. Ya the parts are expensive about 3 times the cost of a 350 but you only live once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I'll keep you V-8 guys posted! |

Let's see....8500 RPM coupled to a 930 gearbox....that's about 220MPH in a vacuum....now add into the equation the aerodynamic drag CD and you have a car that could go very fast! I'm guesing it will be crazy fast in 1st and 2nd gear....then the drag starts to really pile up. I shift my LS6 @ 6800 RPM and can't break 60 mph in 1st....with my 930 box. You'll be able to do so.
