Found a pic of the old big block
#1
Found a photo album of mine with some old pics of cars I had in it, here is the 81 Cutlass with the 454 in it, come to think of it, it was stolen from that very parking spot :madgo:

You would be good for 1200 hp, maybe more with a setup like that, but the torque, ahhhhh enough torque to twist the full frame car into a pretzel! Cant tell the car had a Ford 9" rear in the pics, before I changed the rear end, I had the stock 2:83 or some **** rear end-155 mph at 3100 rpm ( thats as fast as my cousins Mustang would go ), on the Seaford Oyster Bay of all places. A nice lingenfelter injection system would do.

The Centerline Rims and Mickey Thompson I-comps were the only give away, other then that the car was a sleeeeeper. Well, besides the sound from the full length Hooker competition headers and 2 chamber flow master mufflers , the 4" collector was right under the front seats, I thought the shifter on the RX-7 gave off some heat! Imagine twice the heat under your seats. Notice the vacuem canister as well, because of the lack of vacuem from the mechanical cam shaft, there wasnt enough vacuem to work the power brakes, I even had a vacuem pump from a late model Cadillac in it so I could stop. I gave thought of building another one, either a 600+ cubic inch, or a 540 C.I turbo set up, either one would be air conditioned and I would throw another manuel steering box from a early G-body car.

I got pics of the Camaro, and my 84 trans am with the engine transplant as well, back in 89 it wasnt as common to swap the 305 out for a nice worked small block. Too bad I got hit before I even got to take the wiring harness with all the emissions crap off. Pics of the ZX-11, damm album has my gears turning, might get me in trouble!
