Default Bye Bye Stock bottom end.....

1-195
2-196
3-180
4-125
5-195
6-200
7-190
8-190

I only did a leak down on 3 & 4 and on 3 heard the air coming from the Oil fill, lol and on 4, I heard it come from the intake pipe and the exhaust!

So now the question is.... Build this up and spend 7 grand that I don't have or put in the cobra motor I've wanted for a while still only making the same numbers than I'm making now. Also I've already called around trying to find a terminator motor and II can't find anything right now for less than 13k with a KB, and they wont separate. The average price I have seen them for in the past is 7-8grand.

Someone use some logic on me and set me straight.

go pushrod. keep the vortech and look for a 347 stroker. or better yet head over to world products and pick up one of their "Limited Edition" engines.

http://www.worldcastings.com/prods_pages/102075.htm

460ci, 600hp on pump gas, 4500-series Dominator-style carb, world products own heads, and all of this in a 9.5" deck height(351 Windsor) small block that weighs ~400 lb. popular hot rodding lists it at ~$10K. i wanna put one of these things in my 65' someday.

I don't like pushrod engines anymore. If I had oldschool muscle I'd do it, maybe but technology is so good now, I'd rather have reliability.
