Decision time for the 87 ...

**04yellowcobra** · 10-18-2006, 08:59 PM

After reading Rush's post I think we have similar situations.

Trashy's motor is blown (30#s of compression in 5 and 6). So should I .... spend 4500-5000 on a motor, 1400 on a tranny build, and 300 on a rear build. Bringing the grand total to 6200-6700, and still have "Trashy". Or buy my buddy Adams car ... http://www.horsepowerjunkies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36969 If I bought the coupe I would be putting a stock motor back in Trashy and sending it down the road (probably worth 1500 or so to someone hopefully)

Thoughts, opinions, concerns.

Later

dude, i could build you a serious little engine for 4500$

Oh it will be serious. That 4500 also includes all parts and pieces needed to convert the car to carb, as well as all the ignition, carb. Plus I just found out if I go the stroker route which I plan on, I need a balancer and flywheel.

I was hoping for around 475-500 crank HP all motor.

well, the 4500 means a new stroker long block, all forged with main girdle, allum heads (your preference) and cam and lifters,and any compression you want...

Tim - I have been waiting for a couple months for your estimate and I figured that you were too busy. I have done alot of homework on this and found out some great information.
