We have been tryin to build up a strong 351W, and its just too expensive unless we bought a conversion for the tranny (chevy bellhousing for a ford). It'd be about 3 grand cheaper in the end, and still have 100+ hp over the 351.
Are you trying to run an OD? The C6 can be built to take anything a SBF will dish out and then some. As I said, I am building a truck engine, and I'm just going to use the stock ZF 5 spd in it. I am looking to maximize torque under the curve, as it's a truck. It'll never see the high side of 5000 rpms!

Now, my buddy's 2nd gen camaro is pushing 498 to the rear wheels with his 350. Throws the belts at 7000 R's. You can put a "soda" can on the dashboard... hold your hand back about 2 feet, stomp the pedal, and catch it w/o spilling it. His intake valves are almost the size of his exhaust valves, they barely don't overlap. One hell of a sleeper car, the exterior is all primer. And being its a 3 speed auto, its still stomped everything that has pulled up to it.
Nice..... gotta love the sleeper look! SBCs are definitely the cheapest power on the planet. Fords are right behind them.....

C6 bolted to a 350 is what we have been pondering. They have different bellhousings we can pick up to do that.

no ofence but ford kinda sucks in the hp tq and .... well ever other department to. Now a Corvette with a Supercharged 7.0, some toyo tires and some moog chassi parts and some gear changes and that would easily do over 200 mph and alot faster than some cobra.After all who do you think invented the 427 ?

ya, ever since 1973 they have sucked, and in the mid 90s they just kept getting better. I go to the drag strip and see 1970-80 vetts getting 19 in the 1/4 mile ! thats just tarible. I just hope that when the new camaros come out they don't screw those up.

chevy said the camaro would NOT be below 450 hp. Remember how terrible they were from 80s to when they stopped making them?

Im not really curious about the powerplant, thats easy to upgrade, what I mean is look how ugly the newer versions are like the charger and the GTO, compared to the older versions.

and ugly, i hope it looks nothing like any chevy product inbetween 1975-1995, and specually not the camros. I want it to look like a 67 350 camaro rs , that would be perfect. And yes the gto is maid by holden wich is noew a gm componie. I never really like the gto in the fiirstplace. I would rather have chevy bring back the chevel , now that was a nice car.

That show was great. They cancell all the good ones. The Lambo was left in the DUST. All wheel drive is a beast.
