so far I have hooker headers, a spectre dual cold air, and a dual cutom fabed exhaust designed as a grand national exahust with cherry bombs
 
I think this upgrade is best. Remove the 260 CI olds engine. Place engine on a table or some other simular apparatus. Take out your collection of high-power rifles, and shoot the engine. Once you are done shooting it full of holes, take it to the closest scrap yard to recover some of the money you spent on ammo. 7.62X54R and 8mm Mauser rounds do some pretty good damage to an engine block. 300 Winchester Magnum does too. :mrgreen:
 
If you want to be odd throw a old hemi in it, if you want to be despised ford 5.0

Other than the massive cost, all the custom fabrication, and the fact that an Olds 260 can't breath at all, that would be a great idea!
 
i'd use thermite over gasoline. thermite will DESTROY the engine, gas will just make it a little warm. with powdered aluminum (think etch a sketch) and iron oxide (yes, rust), you too can make thermite. metals normally do not burn BUT when the metal is in a fine powder, it CAN burn, with an oxidizer. mix it with a binder, give it a good hot heat source and stand back.
