Vid of my car dynoed @ Rodeheaver's

**94svtcobra** · 08-04-2009, 01:21 AM

carbed is way cheaper than efi, plus as you have heard chris's 377 is a monster, so after talking with Tim @ Rodeheavers he said he feels my best bet is a 393 stroker motor with good heads cam intake, and a big carb. so just a matter of saving up the funds to build the beast

Whats the general price tag?

**94svtcobra** · 08-04-2009, 01:28 AM

roughly 6-7 grand for parts and labor for the motor, a used tremec is around 1000-1500 plus install, and I'm hoping I can find a used posi in good shape to keep my rear end costs to around 1000-1500 for parts and labor so roughly 10 grand maybe more, honestly didnt bother asking Tim about anything other than the motor because I dont have the cash to do any of it right now, just wanted to get a ball park idea of what I should try to save up

Good luck with that

**94svtcobra** · 08-04-2009, 01:31 AM

thanks, I'm hoping once I get my real estate license I can do well with it so I can finsh the car

**cwh19** · 08-04-2009, 01:34 AM

Secure funds would definitely help out lol

I believe so, Tim was driving

thanks, Rodeheavers did a great job on the exhaust

no, that was a 4th gear pull for sure..

nice numbers... You plan on racing the car alot? IMO the 393 will probably be way more than wat you need. But that is just my opinion.. Whats your power goal?

**94svtcobra** · 08-12-2009, 09:03 PM

I want as much hp as I can get out of the combo, 450-500 hp and tq to the wheels would be great

you can EASILY get that with a 347 or heck there are a few guys doing it with 306/331s/ and some with 302s

turbo or t-trim.. I copied this statement from Rob(gmkiller) thread on his 347 build in refrence to his current/old setup

"He'll I made 505 rwhp w/ a stock motor & C.I. cam w/ 14lbs. of boost from my old S-trim. Im currently running 20lbs. w/ the T-trim on my car and will go to the dyno soon to get some new #'s. Im guessing 550-560rwhp."

Its in his 3rd paragraph of the first post in that thread. Hope You9rob) dont mind i used this sentence.. Just trying to show where i got my statement from

**2001GTTT** · 08-13-2009, 04:03 PM

he wants to keep it N/A...besides....a 393 streetcar = sick

As long he keeps the compression down to a point where he can run pump gas safely... Oh yea we got matching cars

**94svtcobra** · 08-13-2009, 04:09 PM

ya as clark stated above I'm trying to keep it na and accomplish those numbers roughly. I'm planning to have it built to hold spray, but not going to put that on until later on and I see what type of power it will make without it

you going up to the dyno day at tims? Or better yet, pm 393 rag. he had a 393 in his fox vert that was absolute SICK! I dont remember his combo but it was fast and loud.. Tim built it for him, but im sure Brian has the specs of that build, but now he has my old black car :(

**94svtcobra** · 08-13-2009, 04:20 PM

I'm going to try to go I maybe out of town that weekend, not sure yet

**biminiLX** · 08-14-2009, 12:22 AM

I'd just do a 408W with about 10.5:1 and 500hp to run on pump gas and still like NOS.
If you already have a lot of 302 parts, a 347 would be fine but I like the big cubes, fat torque curve for a street car.

very true biminilx, we did a 408 for a guy last summer and it is making 460 to the wheels, it has untouched victor jr heads/intake, and a 620ish solid roller cam, and its totally street friendly, he drives it to my shop from 30+ miles away..

**94svtcobra** · 08-14-2009, 12:36 AM

Tim, we can talk that when I can bring ya the money, I'm hoping to have the money for the rear end by the end of fall. my new diff cover is here, gears are on the way, and axles and tlok im hoping are shipped soon, just have to see how I'm gonna pay for it after my lil accident today
