Extra Motor? Hey guys,
I'm tossing around the idea of pulling my stock motor, and replacing it with a 408" built for nitrous.
Why? Because then I'll still have my stock block ready, and I'll be able to spray a LOT more than the 150 I planned on.
Or is this just a stupid idea? Run the stock block until it blows?
Yeah I could pull the stock block (20k miles) and sell it to help offset the cost of a new motor...but I'm the guy who just saves everything, so it'll sit in the corner of my garage until I think of something else to do with it.
Has anybody else done this? thought about this?
opinions?

i agree..
im building a complete new motor on the camaro and instead of leaving the stocker alone i pulled it apart.. now its sitting in parts around the shop while the new motor parts will start arriving in 1 or 2 months.
now i wish i had never pulled the stocker till the new one arrived.. i could be having fun right now.

Thanks guys!!
Thats the opinion I have....if something breaks, I'm going to want to at least drive the car.
I'm getting quotes for a new 408, so we'll see if the wallet will agree to it
benefits of being single!
