It's still a 305 and you're still limited by a bore not even large enough to run a decent valve. While I can agree with the 'build it because you have it' mentality I can say that the best move would be to find an 010 casting 4-bolt 350 shortblock from a '70s truck or van. They're high nickel content 4-bolt blocks, usually with forged cranks. Not that hard to find, and $65 for a short block at the local wrecking yard.

If I were to build one it would probably either be a 327 or a 377 (destroked 400). Big bore/short stroke I've actually been thinking about building a turbo Trailblazer motor for my Nova. 4.2L twin cam straight-6.

Any more info on this car?Looks killer.Im helping a friend right now building a similar Nova with a 350 4 bolt and a T70.

Nice nice, perfect stance...well executed....cept maybe some white leter tires, and perhaps it should be a bit jacked up in the rear....cause you know how some people love the redneck hotrod look.....nuff sarcasm, i belive if you check back in hotrod's true street shootout there was a 60's rambler four door running a turbo 4.2? Car was brutal......loved it.

A. they're polished alluminum
B. you're gay
C. you're like 40 and have an office job <-- which is gay
D. I just got done remodeling an x-ray room at a hospital which i'm currently working at, and i'm only 20 yrs old. I've built more commercial buildings than you've been in therefore i'm more successful.
E. I put that car together when i was 16 because it was "cool" at the time
F. You're gay
and finally G. as far as the 12 yr old girls go.. ya gotta get em while they're ripe.. get em before the hair does.

2BG4HNDA

a: still butt ugly
b: am not
c: 32 and work at a truck center with cool manly trucks and engines all day
d: That will just lead to a successfull pill or coke addiction which im sure you will be proud of in ten years
e: It still is cool....in Quebec....
f: see line b
g: your car may be gay but your opinion on broads.....well is pretty damn accurate so all is forgiven...

That thunderbird would look really nice, BTW, if it didnt have the accessories, and it had a different body shape and color.

The car is apart right now for a front clip rebuild and at the very least a fuel injection swap. I'm going to do custom subframe ties and a roll bar once I have the front subframe properly alligned. It'll probably be painted before it gets driven again.
