Default Need a little more info

Genolan Need some info on the other parts of the drive train. 4spd,5spd,6pd, auto? Rearend ratio? size of tires? What are you looking for in this car? Shows, cruising, autocross and road racing? Picking a motor is like picking a woman. For the motor, what rpm are you looking to turn? Silly power and nasty, a 408-427 stroker. What material do you want the motor of? Aluminum or Iron. Weight savings of about 50-100 pounds on the front end. If you can help with some of these question we can narrow down the beast. Rick L. After this we can also narrow down the better machine shops and builders for your motor. What clutch are you looking at? This relates to how much power. Over build the car is the best thing to offer you for advice.
