This might not be the best help but I put a motor plate in my car this summer but i'm running Olds' and switched to a manual box from Flaming River
nice.... i was gonna do a 455 olds but everyone told me they were expensive to build although my big block chevy wasnt exactly cheap eitherRocket said:This might not be the best help but I put a motor plate in my car this summer but i'm running Olds' and switched to a manual box from Flaming River
there's not as much of a price difference as everyone believes to be...all depends on how deep you go
Sweet! You're a few miles away, I'm in Seattle! You are totally correct on the how deep you go. The olds motors are tough to go hard, unless you really get to know Joe. And empty your wallet then. The BBC's we run , we go deep on. But we're going deep into the inches too. 565, 588, 632 and minimum you're spending 30K, to go fast reliably. Good luck on your plate issue. I think we have a buddy that lives out there that could hook you up. I gotta look him up tho-Make sure he's still alive. Us old guys expire all the time!! Cheers-Matt
