what all is needed.....a cobra engine. It would be much more cost effective to just get a cobra motor as it requires a lot of parts to convert to a 4v engine from a 2v.

Just get a 302 (5.0L) crate engine, drop a 2.2L KB on her, replace the rear end, fuel upgrades and other small parts. and call it a day Those are my plans... gonna need around $15k total though lol

^^^^^ I would suspect that, that is what it would cost you to drop in a cobra motor also. So why go with the 302 crate and then add a KB?

Dood......buy some used PI heads/Cams/Intake for like $400. That will get you about 40 or so wheel HP.

^^^^ That would be the best way to spend you money... But you could also get the PI heads and intake, then get a set of VT cams and have some head work done before you install it all and really gain some good RHP!!!!
