    HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE!

    I did one on my Isuzu Rodeo. I think this is a common problem with OHC cars. PITA. Paul

    99 Cobra to Buy or not to Buy ?

    Don't take that deal man. Too much for the car, I would offer him 16 and no more. List on that car is about 17 and the market is soft on 99 Cobras. Paul

    $10,000 Question: What car?

    Hehe, you guys are hilarious. I agree with not getting into further debt with the cash as a down payment. I never view cars as investments, only real estate. I come from a financially savvy family so I know a thing or two about this stuff. I do realize that getting a car is not the best...

    $10,000 Question: What car?

    I did some research about the LS-1s and I know that they are big piles but hey, maybe someone can give me a good reason to snap one up. Probably not though. I have been looking around for a 99 Snake and it looks like it could be a possibility so I will probably go that route. With the...

    $10,000 Question: What car?

    I certainly will, the way i figure it is that I have all of this time to start looking and test as much as I can out. If I do get a 99 cobra, isnt there an issue or two with them? Paul

    $10,000 Question: What car?

    Hey all! I am fortunate enough to be able to get a gift of $10K from my mom for college graduation in the spring (May) and it is supposed to be applied to a car. What I have right now is a tiring Isuzu Rodeo and I love it but it is getting old and hell, I want a fast car. The way I figure...

    90 LX Hatch deal that I need help with...

    Consider myself talked out of it. I know it would be a fun car but something has to be up. I may still get it just cause I wouldn't do the swap for a while. It would be cooler to get the 5 speed but eventually I would do it anyway. I don't know. I will still run a VIN. Pass this around if...

    90 LX Hatch deal that I need help with...

    Note: I posted this in Talk too. Hey guys. I have a offer for a 90 LX hatch with about 99K on the motor and 1K on the AOD. I was looking for a 5 speed but for the price I don't think I should pass it up. The car has 3 dings, 2 on the hood and one on the left rear quarter. The front bumper...

    Does anyone know what a dyno looks like for a NASCAR motor?

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    Thanks for the advice guys. I still think it would be a great idea to build a high revving 302 but now that Smock has done some posting about that 392, that has got me thinking...How much effort would it take to keep that an EFI and how much heavier would it be?

    Roger that Mike. Forgot about that 4V thing. Thanks Smock for delivering me the goods even with peer pressure.

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    LOL. Yeah well, none of them have an S2000. And they are fast and all but nothing that hey have comes close. One of my buddies has a Civic that will do high 8s in the 1/8th. VTEC and all that crap. I respect him totally and it is a sick car as it handles great. The other has a 2001 Integra...

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    That is what I figured about the motor, HCI for about 2300 + fuel stuff is not too shabby. I think it would be wise to put some light weight slugs in there too but I think that a stock block all cleaned up would be strong enough for that kind of power. I just don't want to have to dump a whole...

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    Mike, you are the man. I need to run out to Knoxville and see you run that car of yours and buy you a beer. Thanks for the great info. I will not ask anything else until I actually do it because it would be totally useless at this point. But I am saving every bit of info. Paul

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    Thanks Mike and Smock- There is some seriously valuable info comming out of you guys. I know I would have to at least be at 11:1 to make that kind of power. Really I just want useable power at 7K, not really peak. So I think the Victor stuff would work really well. Can some one explain...

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    Well, I know it wont be that stock. But I figure I can spend about 4K and do the work my self and get that kind of motor.

    Budget 7500 RPM 302

    Sweet. So AFR 185s would work well, with the behives, stay roller cam (what make should I get? Isky?), new crank?, new rods?, light weight aluminum slugs, SFI balancer (50 or 28 oz)? I would rather keep it EFI and I know that will cost a bit more but I see that folks are using Edlebrock...
