Yipp i needs one of those too. The object of this build was to put it all together for 3500 bucks. I came in under that figeure. That's right boys and girls, you too can have a 408 (new short block mind you) for under 3500 bucks installed. That was my goal. Mission accomplished. I reused the stock upper end which came with 243 heads and the throttle body is already huge. Now I am going to turbo it for under 1500 bucks. I will have 5k in this build. Now the tranny..........ima gonna have to spend good cash there. so what say 2k on a 4l80 and 700+rwhp. Yeah I like that!

LOL I do have Whitey sitting in my driveway. My 96, white, peeling paint, 260k, 305, original 700r4, truck I could go 427 with. Whitey is an old PSO truck. I love that truck paint, dents, no carpet and all.

after a while people are gonna catch on and recognize you.. you could be driving around in a stock cavalier and people wont race you because theyll think it has some kinda lsx.

ive got an idea.. for anyone.. take a cobalt/ cavalier of any year, the older the better. find a wrecked 05-09 impala or monte carlo ss, swap motor and tranny. FWD with a 5.3
