oh the possibilities..... all options will receive a top of the line built 4l60,12 bolt with 3.73s and associated parts. trying to make some growing room for the car when a few years down the road if it becomes a drag car. right now it will be a street/strip car with good street manners. ill have the money when i come hom from germany so better to take the initial hit now than the huge hit later
You know my opinion... go with a built 402.... If your going to spend the money... by the time your done the 402 won't be that much more and it would be money well spent! But any of those setups will get the job done...

ill pawn it off on Jon that way he doesnt have to put that garbage TPI setup in his 81 belinetta. hey humvee, initially you mentioned a built 4l60e, just wondering if you had any particular ones in mind yet? as i'll be in the market soon. Don't really want to go the th400, i put to many miles on the car to not have o/d. I've been reading some guys are putting manual valve bodies in the 4l60e's now

Humvee... you know my opinion... when in doubt... throw cubic inches at it. By the time you get back, there will be lots of new stuff out. I'd plan on doing everything possible first OTHER then the motor, do that last, teh other stuff won't change so much that you will wsh you had done it the other way around. Just jack more juice in that stock motor until it pops.. I'll help push it back... as long as you help push mine back when I do the same thing!

JL, ya i know u cant go wrong with more cubes
its just i dont want to have to build the stock 346 and than step up the cubes and see what happens when i use the cam/heads/intake from the 346 because i will lose a lot of potential from the larger cube motor. but of course i ain got nutin' but time Last edited by Humvee z28; Jan 26, 2006 at 05:40 PM.

Thats what I've been dreaming of. But by then I'll be married, might have a kid along the way. The missus may force me to get by with 346 cubes for awhile.

Personally I'm at the point where I'm either stuffing the TH400 I have in my basement in my car in a month or 2.. or I'm gonna just buy a nitrous kit and stuff that on my car the way it sits and add the needed fuel stuff, leave the stick in it and be done with it.... just do a few little things, like brakes, the shocks, some new rubber, maybe even find some rims for it that a 315 tire will fit on, and find a second car to butcher senseless for track use only... or continue on teh path I started on 5 years ago... with teh car I have. At least I already have the tranny and rims for that should it be the path I take LOL.

u know what i mean Thoughts are there. I'm still thinking about it, there's a couple parts I can get that I would have changed wether teh tranny goes in or not, I'm gonna get those and give myself soem more time. If keeping it a street car is what I decide to do... then I'm taking a page out of your book... strait putting it on the bottle so it will run 10's when I want it to LOL, probably 11's on the street tires how it will be all the time anyway. I figure with a mild nitrous setup like what you are running, maybe a step up to a wet kit, and 550, maybe a little more at the tires would be easy enough to get to. and then get some street rims for it so I can run some 315's out back and a couple small things, new rotors, stuff like that, then I'll have it repainted like I wanted.. and it will give me plenty of time to look for a hardtop V6 car witha good body to start the chopping process on. Dunno.. all depends on a few things, one being wether I'm putting a garage up here at my house, or going somewhere else right off, etc. etc.
Having 2 cars means I have to go at least 24 x 24 on the garage..... making that whole project tie up alot more $, once again slowing the car process.... again
Maybe I should start a poll... toss juice, nice street rims and some wild paint on my 19K mile mint ws-6 and get a V6 car to gut into a race car... or gut what I have and turn it into a race car
