Just giving you a hard time haha. The only thing I have right now is a tired 2.0 Sunbird, a 96 Cavalier possibly neededing a motor, and a 97 Concorde with a 3.5 or whatever haha. I doubt I will get anything else untill the house is paid for.

If I still had the BBC car though I would be happy to give you lane choice


Be carefull spraying on the dyno

I was going to call you but I misplaced your office #. Anyhow, if not no worries and figured there was no harm in asking.

Good luck on the new project!

I don't know if I missed it but what motor size are you planning? 346-408ci?

I'd like to build a nice budget 4 gen drag car. That's what I was looking for before I got the mustang. Or a S-10 would be cool. They are a dime a'dozen.

Good article John.

200-300? Thats all........? Thats a basic forged bottom end and even then a 200 would be weak .

Well I'm trying stay in a certain budget so while I'd love a big stroker I don't see me doing one on this car unless I find a great deal somewhere.
