You're in the perfect position to plan ahead before life takes a steamy dump on you.

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 03:18 PM

Inno that's what I'm doing but for now I'm staying with the 305. An when I get another car to DD then I'll be swapping it.

SpendOne · 04-06-2010, 03:45 PM

Ill sell you my 383 stroker when I yank it.

lownslow95 · 04-06-2010, 04:01 PM

Damn you are 15 and drive that. My first car at 15 was a freaking Acura. WTF.

Scapegoat · 04-06-2010, 04:01 PM

you can pretty much get a 350 for free anymore. couple grand could get you a 454 that needs a rebuild, then you've got a motor that you can learn to wrench on... which would be a sweet project at your age

4cylpro · 04-06-2010, 04:33 PM

I wasn't asking about your engine. I was asking SpendOne. There are Ford 351's stroked out, too.

JB'sLGT · 04-06-2010, 05:00 PM

save your money for a motor swap...305s run out of steam around 5000rpm

although I do remember this article from a long time ago from when I was looking at old Camaros, just keep in mind the motor they are talking about has fuel injection: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...cks/index.html

I had a 305 in my first car which was a '91 camaro. Those things are dogs but it's a good first car.

4cylpro · 04-07-2010, 08:51 AM

^Haha thank you.

SpendOne · 04-07-2010, 04:05 PM

Chevy 350 with a 400 crank. Motor is fine and still in the car. Just looking to do another motor for boost. Its a fully forged bottom end, Callies crank, Iron Eagle heads, etc. The motor runs great but I need to go faster! Motor has been 10.2's (motor only, no nitrous) on 93 pump in my car.

4cylpro · 04-07-2010, 04:12 PM

Wow!! I'll pass for now but when it comes to me swapping the motor, I'll get in contact with you to see if you still have it. But thanks for offering.

If you don't mind me asking what are your stats? Like car weight, mph on quarter mile, wheels hp, crank hp, how good did you hook up on the quarter mile when you ran the 10.2? Thanks for the answers.
