Thread: Worth the time and money?

 Would it be worth the time and money to jam a BB into a 84 GMC Caballero. It's like an El Camino for those who don't know. The guy I bought it from says that was his original intention. I've seen them at car shows but I just didn't know how much of a task it would be.If I knew anything I'd be dangerous.

 Two Guys Garage did it on Speedvision. That car/truck uses the same Chassis as a 70's Camero, as far as I know. The fit is pretty good, but you have to change out a lot of the plumbing like brake lines and such. A big block in any car is worth the effort. Heck, I'd put one in a Mini Cooper if I had the time and money.
 
 A healthy small block and a high stall converter will kick pretty hard coming off the line.
