engine build ideas

[Inkdcountryboy]

this popped into my head...i have no idea how long itd last or even if it would.. or what kinda numbers it would see...4.6 with the new trickflow heads, a set of cams and either a saleen or a roush s/c (to keep costs down).. anyone think itd hold up or if its make some nice numbers?

I think you should put a Cummins Twin-Turbo diesel into a chevy chevette.

Done.

sure it would make nice numbers, with all the other needed parts to make it a great combo...

That would be a good start if you want it to hold together. As well as long tubes ,tuneing, clutch etc.

The car already needs a clutch...headers are expensive and apparently a pain to do....sounds like itd be easier to to headers when ya swap k-members

yes i second this! it is a nightmare! haha take the k member off first!

If you need a clutch and want to do headers, probably easier to drop the engine/trans out the bottom and do it all together.
Thats a nice parts list, you could even get away with the stock bottom end if you limit the boost and have a good tune while you save for a good bottom end.

Yea i wanna try my bottom end till next winter till i can save and get a good shortblock.. i was thinking 9psi? but i dont know how safe that is..i need to hit the lotto and just buy a Gt500 supersnake and forget it... lol. but if i can sneak through the summer on my stock shortblock thatd be awesome. if not then i guess ill only be doing suspension and stupid stuff to it till i can afford a shortblock.
