Killercanary said:Rob, your thinking of going NA!?!? Wow! If you do it right, you should have just as was said above 350rwhp easily. You could keep your intake and t-body, add some AFR185 heads, a good cam (you know who I recommend!!!), and you'd be set. You'd be within your budget too.
Nik- a 342 and the 347 are the same, but the 342 maintains the stock bore.
PAUL,
Because of the cost, Im not gonna do this "just to do it". It may still be 2 years down the line, or if something blows, it would be next month.
The reason as I said that Im researching this now, is in case something goes, I have my plan ready to go. I refuse to spend time, money, and resources "fixing" problems on a 10-yo block because of forced induction. By the time you keep fixing things over and over, you could have just spent a little more and had everything NEW and done right the first time..
Now having said that..THe combo youre referring to Paul, are you talking that with a 347 or 331, or does it matter, IYO?
I have enough bling (well sort of), I have the fuel pump and 36's, the MAM and TB. I just need the assembled long block, maybe a new oil pan and balancer and just drop it in. Im sure I could get $1500-$2000 for the polished Vortech with chrome PP.
Thanks for the info!
