You're making me sad that I'm going to be selling my 95 Camaro soon. I had something like this planned for it.

1600th post.

I had wanted to do a 47x or 500 cubic inch LSx motor but I got the turbo bug instead. I hope I can do 1000 hp with the turbo. All in a 1994 F body.

My next build will be either turbo LT1 or big cube LSX. Much more modest goals - streetable mid 10s would probably be my target.

LT1s are seriously pissing me off right now, so I am leaning towards a big cube LSx similar to what the_merv cooked up. I'm getting tired of the loud, violent, lumpy idle LT1s that are fun on the street but still leave you wanting at the track

That was with you doing most if not all of the install right? I don't have the know-how or really time for that. I do small stuff in my teeny tiny garage.

what is the labor on a project like this?

Most Performance Shops ***-rape you with about $110+ an hour..

This was all my work, and there was ALOT of custom stuff..I don't see a small Shop doing something like this, more than likely it would be a place that deals with many Cars.
I should open up a Shop..
