Then (Stock) A paltry 123 ft lbs. at 4,800 RPM. Granted it's not much but it's still funny that it beats out an engine over twice it's size in HP.Quote:

Anyway. I was just saying that 115 HP trying to lug aroung a huge ass impala or caprice is NOT ballsy.

OK, true. But, you have to realise, there are 20 years of technology between these engines. And there was a gas crunch too. The little 4 cylinder could use some gas mileage to gain power. This engine couldnt.
It may even be less because i got that rating from nastyz28 and that is a camero site but the engine numbers are the same.
the smallest blocks from most of the GM lines diddnt have performance settings. A 4.4 was a 4.4 across the board. There is a good chance, you have 115.
I did'nt know if it changed from car to car or not.
ok i registerd to this forum just so I could rant . Junior members should be given a test of knowledge before they open their mouth and let their stupidity fall out.
Bareboots is officially on my ignore list. Is there any way that we can get him off the site so he dosent use anymore vulgarity? Even though he blocked parts of words we all still know what he said and the youngsters on the site probably know some also.
Hey guys, I have a weekend coming up, a fresh oldsmobile and Im pissed off. Can someone give me this guys adress so I can go, and I quote,"smack the living sh*t out " of him? Matts doing a good project that no one has had a probm with. This kid bareroots has to learn how to work with chevy too. "You can do anything you could do with anyother chvy v8 in regards to standard equip, exceptions would be swapping your heads onto lets say a 350 " WTF is that? Granted SBCs are compatable, but it looks to me like this kid has spent maybe 100hours under the hood, and thinks he's god! And I dont even believe in god! Seniors, Im looking for help on schooling this punk.
I have a 267 V-8 in my El Camino, and its hella fast, but thats just my ELCO, i guess it depends on how well you take care of it
I have never riddden in a 267 powered anything that I thought was even remotely fast. The car my wife had when we were dating was a 79 Malibu, I assumed it was a V6 , I mean...it was really a turd. One day the lower radiator hose blew...I was shocked to discover it was a V8. LOL.. but hey, if you think its fast...have yourself a good time. by the way...what is hella ? Is that an ebonics word ?
dude, whatever, all i know is mine is pretty fast, but i dont now what all my great grandpa did to it before he gave it to me, i now he did a whole lot of shit to it....
hey there stepside I would have to agree with you and madgrinder they do make a good boat anchor they rank right up there with the vega motor GM really laid on there back with them twoQuote:

if its pretty fast, my guess is grandpa replaced it with something else
i think that the 262 and 267 are both very good motors the bore and stroke on the 267 is 3.5 by 3.48. factory hp on the 267 is 115 with the smogger cam and 2 barrel. drop in a comp cams 268h cam and a 600 cfm 4 barrel a good set of valve springs. then you will have somthing. i have a 267 in my truck out of a 79 malibu. with a comp cams truck 4x4 extreem camshaft and a 600 4 barrel carb. in my 86 monte i run a 262 that runs like a basterd, i run a isky full roller with harland sharp rockers and full length headers. if you have any questions on either of the 2 motors just ask it is all i deal with. good luck jay
Good questions for a 15 year old. I don't see why you would be busting his chops. Bottom line is you can spend a couple of grand on this motor and have 200hp or you can spend the same money on a 350 and have 400hp. your choice. hp and torque is expensive, how fast you want to go? The better base engine you start with, the more bang for the buck you will see in the end. My opi, dont spend squat on this motor. 350 cores are cheap and easy to locate.
