Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
I am thinking about doing a V8 conversion this winter to my '73.
I couldn't locate the thread that talks about costs and what is needed. - How good are the V8 kits out there? - Who has a better kit? - Do you need to overhaul the V8 to move the torque band up in the RPM range? - What is a good engine to look for? I would not like to mess my tranny up so I don't need 400HP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) - I am going through my tranny this winter too. I have another tranny to get parts from..Should I flip some gears around for better drivablility? Cheers Kerry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
