Please please don't put an LS in that thing and lose the raw awesomeness that the car has and doesn't deserve to lose.

I'm beyond certain RS can spec a reliable non-LS motor for that car. I think he's what you call... "been there done that."

LOL :lol:


No Way ... Let's put that TRD NASCAR Truck engine in it! :)

Just kiddin' ... of course. With 245 tires ... the 590hp it has/had is plenty.

That TRD --- derated.... oh yeah!



What's that thing worth 75 grand?

I would love to see a Toyota in a Ford. Alex at Big Head Motorsports had an RB26DETT in an early Camaro for a while. I love seeing cars that p-off the purists.

Gosh ... back when they were new & the hot package to run ... they were $55,000 ... a race ... on a lease deal. Now, they don't run that engine anymore ... so a guy can probably get a nearly new/fresh one for $20-25k. Of course worn out junk is out there for a lot less.

But rebuilds are killer. Too often & too much! Hey ... that sounds familiar. :lol:

:cheers:

It gets old real quick!!


Pete is here in Sun Valley -- and came down to the shop today. He was having all manor of valve train issues with his 347 (same cubic inch as mine) and finally put a 6300 chip in the MSD and hasn't had any problems since. Maybe it's all my doing IDK.

Go see the car over at BMR Carl.... and take some rags -- some of your stuff is getting kinda greasy! Only because the current owner is a lazy pig... The parts work great!

I'd say more cubes so you can make it less rowdy. A quality engine should go a season and then need maintenance, not rebuilt. I wouldn't want to give up much rpm for road racing. How tight are you spinning it?
