RE: The Big 5.0L Swap
What kind of power would a modded 5.0 or 351 put out as far as you all know? Or would the extra weight over the v6 make it a pointless venture?
Sorry to seem persistant with the idea, but there's just something about the idea of having a 5+ liter in there where the 232 used to be. That and I'm thinking turbo kits would cost more than an engine swap. You can find an F-body for pretty cheap if you look enough.

I notice you are in NC, if you get rid of the OBD II you will never pass inspection since that's all they use for the emissions portion now. They plug into the OBDII port and scan the computer.
A modded 302 or 351 can make anywhere from 250 hp to 1000+ it all depends on how much you want to spend. Your trans and rearend won't live for long behind a 350hp motor let alone something making 500hp.
