Todd --

I've talked to and spent some time at Speed-O-Motive (LA)... They do TONS of blown stuff... and looked to be a very well run and organized shop...

Just my two cents...

Very funny, an LS is looking really cheap right now.

Yeah and not that big of a deal either....just have to replace EVERYTHING from the radiator to the driveline! Trust me I have thought about it...but Jody and my wife talked me right out of those crazy thoughts!!

There is always a 555CI, seen this Todd?

Those LS motors are the easy way out.

Anyway, it would really be cheaper to slap an LSx in there and redo a bunch of crap than what I have floating around in my head. Not going to happen. I like it old school under the hood.

Yep, I just looked over the thread. I can do it cheaper since I already have Dart 325's and a intake.

Funny. I have heard nothing but TERRIBLE reports about Speed-O-Motive... doing such a high volume of motors translates into inconsistent assembly and results is the consensus I have read about. No personal experience though.

Todd, let me know when you are coming out to Cali.

Glad you are on the case so quickly with it. It should be easy to make the power numbers you are looking for with those heads and another cam--and keep it streetable. If you need some running around done for you in terms of shop selection, let me know--i've dealt with quite a few of them and am glad to help you out.

June is coming buddy--

The beauty of these forums... you post something up - and people with more / different / better info add what they know... I wasn't saying that I KNOW they do good work - was just putting the name out there... So I'm glad you added your knowledge!!
