350 with a turbo... for street?
I have been scouring the internet all over and can't seem to find the right answers.
I currently have a 1987 camaro LT (with the 2.8L engine). It runs great, but needless to say the 2.8l has to go!!!
I plan on keeping this car for my lifetime and pass it down to my kids some day. I do not want to turn it into a drag car... I want a reliable and quick street car that isn't a killer on gas.
I dont care so much how much money I am going to be putting into this car, as long as the price is not more than i would spend to buy the new 2010 camaro. I do not plan on performing a job as of yet, but i would like to know where i am going with this project
I have a 327 sitting in my garage right now, it runs but has 350 smog heads on it. I think that i want to throw a 350 into my car instead. I know the v6-v8 swap is going to take a little work.
My question for you guys is, would it be worth throwing a turbo or a twin turbo kit onto the 350? I am a bit new to the auto world, but this is something i would love to learn how to do. Would I be better off with a supercharger instead? like i said, i do not care so much about price.
If i were to throw a turbo kit onto the 350, what kind of performance gain would I see? also, would i be better off with a nice carb or a tpi? I am looking for reliability and efficiency for a quick street car built more for some nice acceleration power.
Any ideas for me guys? i have an empty cup haha.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
