Default Dream Engine

Say hypothetically you hit the lottery for a large sum of money. What would be your "dream engine" and set up to put into a 94 formula down to every last detail? Just curious.

well, since money is not an object....


408 ci iron block forged everything, and a nasty heads/cam setup w/ a DP 200 shot

for the exhaust, LT's, ORX or ORH pipe, true duals straight out the back

then you'd have to upgrade the drivetrain lol

I'd do either a built 4L80E with a big stall or a built-to-the-***** T56

a HD driveshaft

at least a 12 bolt rear, most likely would go with a 9" w' 4.10s

some suspension work

a bigger sticky tire


I'll keep on dreaming




and VTECH stickers all over it
jk about that part

LSX block bored and stroked to a 454, huge cam, ls7 style heads, sheet metal intake, and a direct port system jetted for 200-250 shot when needed.

This may seem pathetic, but I think about this all the time...

I'd go with a 408 iron block with bullet proof guts and go with a twin turbo setup and try and get around 900 RWHP. And of course I'd have a built tranny, rear end, and full suspension.

Than I'd buy a new Z06 for my DD
