Could you V8 guys give me an idea as to how much it would cost to add a basic V8 conversion to my '72..... Idea with it installed and for me to install. I have been thinking about this for a winter project. I do have a 350 sitting in the garage that runs or ran great. I have this itch to buy a corvette and I want it to go away!

I have been thinking about this for a winter project. I do have a 350 sitting in the garage that runs or ran great. I have this itch to buy a corvette and I want it to go away! I am not a v8 guy as I have not installed one but the idea has crossed my mind more than once. I know there are many guys who make due with the 0-1 but I know how I drive and am very familar with the 901 and know it just would not live with a v8 and my driving so here is my rough guestimate: Since you have your desired engine: 4909 all the renegade parts minus the engine 9000 930 trans rebuilt with flipped ring and pinion and custome cable shifter 3000 brake upgrades _____Leaving out the wheels, tires, flares, suspension b/c everone is very different on these needs. 16909 is what I come up with ... but I would add another 3k for the addtl parts I omitted If you wanted to have it all done for you add another 12k ish guessing but I bet I am close for N. Ca and done right. |
