Thread: which engine?

Tweet

Well, the old chebbie is cheaper argument doesn't really hold water anymore..... the resale thing, I don't think so...I'm not the only one tired of seeing everything powered by a chebbie. But hey....(yawn), go for it (yawn). So many good choices out there, geez, might as well go build another red camaro with a 350/350.... (yawn). Whatever happened to dare to be different??? Doesn't anybody dare anymore???

How's about a Ford or Dodge V-10? The 4.6 and 5.4 Ford Modular Motors work good..... At least that could be one reason that Mustangs are hot and Camaro's are......well, aren't. 472 and 500 Caddies make huge torque. 455 Olds and Buicks are plentiful and cheap in the salvage yards. Conversion kits are available for Northstar engines to make them RWD. The new Hemi should be showing up in the salvage yards. Toyota's V-8 engine runs strong.

Lots of choices, why settle for being just like everybody else???

There is such a huge supply of aftermarket sources and parts and the internet has them at your fingertips. You no longer have to settle for what your local speed shop offers. It's been my observation that a lot of the "chebbie is the only way to go" crowd never bothered to try anything else....
