oh man... no power brakes. id rather have pb over ps, and i like the metering block you have on the 2300 there. good carbs, easy to tune in you get the adjustible jet metering blocks, no more popping the float bowl every time you have to adjust

ugh dumbass, does:



LOOK like a v6?

why spend THOUSANDS on a big block having to upgrade the entire drivetrain to handle it when you can just spend at most a thousand and have a leet setup.

plus inline 6's sound ------ sick

Yeah Amen to that, that was one of the 2 on my 750DP that was on the Race Motor figure it will make road tuning the car simple.

Yeah Ive had a 64 2dr HT, 69 2dr 307, 71 2dr 250ci 6, and this 72 had a 6 then a stout v8 and back to a 6...

Ive done Big Blocks, Ive done High Revving 9,000 RPM SBC, it gets old and its no fun on a street car. Ive never been a BB fan though small ci high RPM is wheres it at

As i statyed in the first post were not trying to build a monster motor I would have left the 450rwhp motor that was in it there. Mid 12's was fast enough

Actually they do need balancers its just that the balancer ascts as a pully also, but thanks for the support man most people just dont get it. Its cooler to make 450hp with a 250ci I-6 then 450hp with a 350+ci v8

Holy crap! How did I miss this project? Awesome build man. Can't wait to see the finished product. I miss my dad's old 69 C10 with the 250 I6. Hahaahaaaha. The straight pipe made that ****** sound like a cemiu when it was under a load.

To all the haters. Shut the ---- up. Any ------- can open up a Summit catalog and mail order their big horse V8.
