Greetings everyone, Im new to the site. Im hoping to get alot of info from all of you, maybe make my night not so full of cursing. Ill jump right into it. I still own my first car. An 87 Olds cutlass salon. I have owned it for about 11 years now. Its time to build it the way I want. Here is what I have in mind.
Total projected cost: About 20k (I know, it wont happen)
Torn between a Chevy 572 Crate motor, (750HP,Torque 775 ft/lbs,runs on 92 octan. (would like to keep it streetable, in a sense) Or Build my own 455.
Have a 350 turbo, but may have to go to a 400.
And a new rear end, the current one I know will not hold up. its a 10 bolt and the gearing is crap was told something like 2 73's.
My goal, Sleeper, vett killer. I have a personal vendetta :evil: So figuring that a Zo6 vett is 505hp, and very light. I think im close to where Ill need to be.
Ok this is where all of you chime in and tell me what you think. As far as rear end, transmission, Motor options, what is all of your recomendations? Ill try to post a picture of my car its in the garage. Off to find the camera.
