For a ProTouring car you're planning on selling

[awr68]

I'll be the odd man out, I vote for the ProCharged SBC. It weighs less, looks sweet, and sounds awesome! And I'm guessing Don has been happy with it...it's been a reliable power plant for him, yes?

I think if someone is going to buy a car like Don's with all the right parts on it from bumper to bumper, they will appreciate all the benefits of the current setup...but what do I know? Now a faux-touring car would defiantly benefit from the BBC swap...

So what does he plan on building next???

SBC pro charged is the way to go. Not only can you pull off 600-700hp but it will still be lighter and get better gas milage plus it looks cool at shows.

I think you could build an engine for about 5grand with relativly cheap parts and then 3grand for the super charger.

He already has a ProCharged 406 in there, making 691 rwhp. His fear (which seems to be re-inforced by many) is that it will be harder to sell with that vs a big block n/a or LSX engine.

He's actually looking at buying a new Z06.

If it's already in there, I'd just try to sell it as it is now.

I agree that a n/a bbc might make it worth more, but I'm not sure it'd make it worth $3-4k more, not counting all your time to to the swap.

JMHO, .
