Retarded Mustang Guy
hey... the 2 bolt/4 bolt thing was a big deal before the LS1 came out... I mean, you could have a 2 bolt main, 4 bolt main, or you could get your 2 bolt main converted to a 4 bolt with splayed caps...
this mostly seemed to be a big arguing point for the 350 guys who wanted to go 383, or the 400sbc guys who wanted to see just how far they could go... mostly truck motors, and from what I remember, the 3rdgen F-Bodies and 4th gen Vettes all had 2 bolt mains, and everyone wanted to put a TPI unit onto a 400ci sbc but ran into problems (like the TPI not being worth a **** after 5200rpm even on a 350 regardless of cam for the most part) ... not to mention the L98 heads just didn't seem to work on 400's too often...
but what does that guy know? he drives an orange Escort with a skull on the hood ...
as far as a simple bolt on to boost yourself to that range... any idiot could go and buy a 250 shot and install it himself for about a grand and still have the **** look reasonably stock if it's done properly (especially on a carbed car with one of those nifty Air Gap edelbrock intakes that you can just stuff all sorts of fun **** into that gap, and a large air filter to boot.

Sexy Z... never listen to these guys... I had a guy with a 1991 "Steeda" Mustang tell me tonite that his 12 second 5.0 gets over 30 mpg hywy... lol. That car was as much a "Steeda" as my car is a Dick Harrell. And it'll get 30 mpg when I finally figure out how to have a threesome with 2 celebrities.

For a thousand bucks for 450-500 horse! if that was true there would be a ton of cars out there with 500 horse. An full exhaust alone is close to a thousand. Only way I can see this being done if you get all the parts for FREE!!! or maybe for very little cash, stealing, or trade. Which would take forever to find and do unless you lived on the net and in a junk yard. Other than that no fkn way! There are a few cars out there that will get you 450 to 500 for a grand but they are already making close to 400 or a tad over. Just my opinion
