Ok, the old 'maro has got to go. One of the threads I did on it was about the color, with all the helpful information given by all of you the car will be painted Resale Red. It's time for me to start lining up some engine parts and I'm curious what the opinions are as to a powerplant for the car..... So, which combination is going to offer the best return on the dollar?


1. Big Block with a stroker kit taking it to 496 inches and a 400 hydro. Reworked oval port cast iron heads....

2. 540 inch Big Block, solid roller cam, aluminum heads, and all the other go fast goodies and a well built 400 hydro with hi stall converter

3. 355 small block, GM heads, hydraulic cam, 350 hydro with a shift kit.

4. Stroker small block (383 or 406), solid roller cam, aluminum heads, 400 hydro, hi stall converter and all the other go fast stuff



A bit of other info about the car....It will have coilover suspension, triangulated 4 bar, tubular A-Arms, 9" Ford rear, 6 point roll bar, frame ties, strut tower braces, a ton of body mods, 4 wheel disc brakes, dash full of Autometer gauges, and a bunch of trick stuff all over.... Weight will come in at around 3,000 pounds dry....
