351 vs 429BB
OK here's the deal
option one i could buy a 1989 coupe with a 351w for $900 making ~ 350hp
or i could buy a Fox body Roller, and put a 429 making 350hp stock and put a new cam intake carb and home port the head and make ~450hp and ~500ftlbs.....i could do that with $2140
short term BB is a drag long term project is a BB road racer.

your gonna be adding over 150lbs if not MORE to the front of the car... The chassis will NOT be happy.
a well built 351w stroker (427w) will make just as much power, is lighter, and will have MUCH better street manners

i think if a viper can handle the turns well, the suspension can be upgraded so it could too, and i think it would be cool to plow through them like a bull and the hit the straight and leave. its for fun not to win.
