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) |

Go for it. . .
I tried to bite off too much for myself to chew on my conversion, but I will finish it. Got sidetracked with house. I bought my stuff from Renegade, and the products are good, and they stand behind them. KEP we helpful as well, and seems they've got their stuff together. Desert Hybrids was not around yet when I did the majority of my conversion parts gathering, but they look like good folks. My budget buster was the 930 transmission. Set me back $4500.00 but if I ever get this thing stuck together, I'll be able to romp on it. Mabe even know how to drive by then since I'm picking up Rob's a/x car. Seems the 350 parts are cheaper than other displacemnents for motor building. Can build long duration, short lift (cheap valvetrain components) motor for reasonable. -'Chung |
