Thumbs up New Forum!

Due to popular demand, we have decided to add this new forum to discuss Small Block and Big Block Chevy engines. These are typically the engine of choice for the all-out drag racers, and many people are doing engine swaps into their 4th gen f-body drag cars.

Hopefully with this forum added, we can capture all the important details and combinations out there that have been found doing these swaps and engine builds.

Tony

Great to see another new forum, I'm looking forward to this one bout as much as drag racing forum

I could help out as well if needed. Never installed a SBC or BBC into a 4th gen, but my job revolves around research on these motors, and I've driven SBC's since age 14

For real, here's a vote for Derek to be a mod for this section. The guy knows his stuff and his very detail oriented...and he took me for a ride in the Nova that changed my life.
