easy motor swap Posted By: 91_gta On: 06-25-2008 @ 03:15:51 Reply | Edit Well im sure the 305 isnt going 2 last 4 ever. So well im up for ideas on what 2 build.... I finally have enough money saved 2 start. Here are some stuff 2 think around. Will run 100-175 wet shot. 3.73 gears drag radials big cam At the moment the car will stay an auto... Depending on money.. I think if I did lt1 swap I would only do that if I could get the t56 still strapped 2 it. But what is an easy motor swap. Build TPI motor Build Carb motor Lt1 swap Dont no any other options... just send some info on what you think.. --

LOL But I'd ditch the TPI set up if you're going for big power. It's pretty hard to tune and you have to spend a little money just to be able to do it. Carb set up usually make tons of power anyways. -- Being rebuilt, It'll take a while:

Im thinking I could build a 383 carb really easy. I mean really I just want 2 run mid low 12's motor then low 11's on spray... I think a good heads,cam intake carb on a 383 could do that easy. So is carb the way 2 go.... I mean I dont have to worry about emissions... --

It's reliable, fuel efficient, and makes great power. Only problem is that it is an expensive swap  --  Posted By: 91_gta On: 06-30-2008 @ 03:34:28 Reply | Top | Edit Yea i mean that would be a great swap.... Its just so much work and the cost is not for a college student... That is y i keep thinking lt1 t56... I mean rebuilt lt1 on spray... But that depends on cash.. --
