Ok then,...I consider my self bitch slapped.In a street car at 6-800 hp I have seen them last seasons at a time . It’s all in the tune like anything else . Starting with 6 bolt mains put you way head of the game with keeping things in place .
Believe me I know what happens in anything Max effort but these things are pretty damn durable . Price is whatever because I see prices all over . Take a ls7 for instance . Headers , ported stock heads , rpm b4 cam , msd Mamo ported intake . Makes 671 / 577 NA on pump gas . They usually average 620-650 with that stuff . How can you beat that NA from a stock bottom end
Granted this isn’t an ls7 but my point is they are killer engines .
Ls3 heads flow over 300 on the intake side at .600 lift for comparison . My TEA 20511r Cnc heads flow 321 at the same lift . Case in point they are impressive for what they are .
hell if I was doing it again I’d build a 5 or 6 speed setup with a 408 or 416 LS 11:1 on pump gas . It would make over 600 at the tire . Then hit it with 150-200 for the track or some heavy street runs .
My buddy has a stock alum block 416 with mast heads . Cam , carb car . Runs on pump has . 79 slant back heavy cutlass . His dad at 70 years old has been a lazy 9.98 on 125 shot in its setup to take 300 . The car can drive anywhere . It’s just all about what you want to do .
I hate to see anything but a rocket motor in an Olds. By now if they were still making Olds and Pontiac’s, the engines would all be consolidated for the EPA. So I should look at it like the new Olds engine, especially with that time slip and driveability. But I cannot quote make the leap.In a street car at 6-800 hp I have seen them last seasons at a time . It’s all in the tune like anything else .

He played that game to . 2 different engines . Diesel blocks etc. dogs that ate themselves up. His dad is die hard olds and he saw the light as well. This car had a big block for a bit too which lives in his 70 aqua car that’s a pro touring deal they just did a 4l80 in .I hate to see anything but a rocket motor in an Olds.

Well that’s not a usual response from someone who I regard as intelligent from his living experiences . This is just my take on it not saying everyone must agreeOk then,...I consider my self bitch slapped.
Aw man, you beat me to it.Ok then,...I consider my self bitch slapped.
I got to ride in a 72 442 tribute after it got go fast parts on the 455 and a good transmission, but before it got wheelie bars. On a wheels up launch, it left gouges in the blacktop from the rear bumper. No doggy diesel block there.He played that game to . 2 different engines . Diesel blocks etc. dogs that ate themselves up.

Like I said he’s got both . I agree the big blocks make gobs of torque down low but it isn’t the same . The 350 diesel blocks were in his 87 he had that got a 525 crate ls3 . The Aqua 70 has the hot big block that went 10s in the 78 . They also have a red numbers matching 70 convertible with a 350 in it .I got to ride in a 72 442 tribute after it got go fast parts on the 455 and a good transmission, but before it got wheelie bars.

The LS heads flow better etc., but it’s not the same.
Welcome to the removable top saddle brigade. Removing that top brace is the only way anybody can get an inline six with a 4l80e attached to go into a fox. Obviously the same can said about any engine attached to any transmission when talking about an old assed Falcon.More pictures of the today's work.
WTF? A compliment. Quick someone call 911, Mikey has had a stroke.Welcome to the removable top saddle brigade.
