im not trying to spend like 5 or 6000$ on a motor... plus if i go anything much over 500 550hp then i will have to start looking into a built up trans which will runn me another 1000$ then driveshaft and then i would definitly need a 12 bolt rear end....
500 to 550hp will keep me in the range of keeping my 700r trans (just toss a few buck into a shift kit) and my 8.5" 10 bolt posi i got (putting 4.56 gears in it)
even at that 500hp i mite run in to problems with the 700r we shall see i guess lol
ya let me know man

I feel a LOT of stick on fender vents, hood scoops and NOS stickers are in order for HP that high!

ya definitely gonna need ATLEAST 450hp on the low end to have it move and play like i want it to
my monte carlo has roughly 450/475hp and i was contimplating pulling that 402 out and using it in my caprice but id rather not do two motor swaps
see not everything i own is a donk on big rims!!!
fast forward to the 2 minute mark in the video!!

ya its got some balls.. definitely needs a bigger cam and some porting done to the heads but besides that it i cant complain..
that build will be later if i keep it... was thinking some candy paint.. new interior and maybe some 20" staggered rims with like some 10 or 12" wide back rims and either asanti or forgiato wheels because im definitly not lifting it or going to do any type of stupid suspension work to put rims on that one
