kyteler Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Puh-leeeezzz, tree3, it's always wanted to be a full blooded general instead of an orphan, might as well invite it into the family properly by giving it a proper motor. I suggest a 572ci BB. 1 Quote
kyteler Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I don't know man, 427 is cool and all, but the 572 is almost a 10litre engine. That's got to count for something. Quote
Threeonthetree Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah, Dollars. Thankfully his 308 is a trimatic pattern so it'll be easier and cheaper to source than the turbo-hydramatic patterned version. Quote
dr.wylde Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 we will see what happens lads 572 BBC could be a bit outta of my budget At the moment Quote
dr.wylde Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 308 will be the most likely option just gotta find one thats not rooted or get mine rebored at least mines a virgin block Quote

KKtrips Posted October 12, 2014 Author Posted October 12, 2014 Talk to Shaz about buying a single piston from her 7 good ones and buy my camshaft and lifters then slap it back together. Quote
dr.wylde Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 couldnt slapping one piston in have disasterous effects without accurate measuring ? Quote
