    Longblock questions.

    First, Which parts will I need to complete the longblock? Water pump, valve covers, intake, carb? What else. What companies should I check out? I want a mild 289 or 302. What's the level of knowledge needed to complete a longblock?

    Trasmission choice?

    I have a 65, 6 banger with a 3-spd, 2.77. I'm in the process of converting to an eight and want to know what my trans options. The motor will be either a 289 or 302. The shop building the motor suggested the C4. I was thinking t-5. Any other options? Which would cost less?

    What's the most you're ever going to get out of a 200cid?

    Looks like I'll be doing the conversion. What about the motor? I have been poking around and I like the idea of the turn key motors with EFI. I don't want a junkyard motor. Is it more economical to buy the longblock or the turn key. I cannot build a motor so if I go with the longblock I will...

    Keep the info coming. What would make a good donor car. Which parts come from which cars? Is there donor out there that has a drivetrain that I could use for the entire setup?

    What's the most you're ever going to get out of a 200cid?

    Now that turbo idea sounds hot, but wouldn't that push me up into the same dollar range as a complete v8 conversion? Again, I'm not worried about the cost as much as the availablity of parts and my ability to install them. I really want to do as much of the work as possible because I enjoy the...

    What's the most you're ever going to get out of a 200cid?

    I plan on doing all of the suspension and brake work, rear end and any electrical work. I think I'll need a little help with the engine and trans. Also, this is not my daily driver.

    What's the most you're ever going to get out of a 200cid?

    OK. I have to come clean. I have not completely ditched the conversion idea. Here the deal with the car. My family purchased it new. I never plan on selling it and could care less about the car's value. I had it appraised and the guy who did it said I shouldn't do anything to it. He said it is...

    What's the most you're ever going to get out of a 200cid?

    I have a 65 vert that is in excellent condition. I posted here back in the summer about converting to a V8 and got my head chewed off about the convertion. And you're right. I'm better off keeping it stock. What I want to know is what's the most I'm ever going to get out of a six? Intake...
