richmond 5 speed or 6 speed personally if this car is a daily driver your going the wrong way, youll end up hating to drive the car, horrible mileage, still getting beat by lt1s and ls1s etc. etc. go efi

 

never said its a daily driver, and when i get a 454 if most definitely will not be a daily driver.

 

thats why i said IF its a daily driver

 

just so happens that i got my th350 out of my camro for sale, pretty modded. will handle what you can throw at it, $500 as is, or about $675 rebuilt to freshen it up

 

Do NOT call me if you're replacing motor mounts. :shudder: That has to be the most miserable job I've ever done on my car.

454. fun fun fun! There is NOTHING like the rumble of a big block

 

If you can't go with the LS1 power up with the 454. I love the sound of the big block. Just rev her up and the compitition will run scared.

 

my dad is currenty talking to a shop in the states... right now its looking like a 454 with 495rwhp on base tune... complete crate motor with carb and waterpump.

u.s. to cdn it comes out to about $5300 free ground shipping anywhere in the US.... then i gotta figure out duty and if i can get around it.

but it sounds like a nice look job to start on.

im just filling out my plan on the car right now... figuring out what i want to do, and a budget plan

 

Wow, now you're talking. A new 454 crate motor will be awesome.

 

What's the price difference between a 454 and a 502 crate?

454's are commonplace........502 on the other hand........

 

a brand new 454 crate turn key motor is only 5300 cdn !??? U GOT TO BE SH*TTIN ME

 

I bought a 502 crate motor with 515 ft lbs@3500 and 440 hp @5200 for $4600.00. This was back in the last century, 1996 I think, from Preston Chev. It only has a few hours on it seeing as I stuffed it in my boat and it hardly ever gets used.

The torque is really nice coming out of the hole. Too bad it won't fit in my 84 Camaro.

 

ya but ur forgetting tax and duty ends up like 7000 bucks... then i wanna upgrade my cooling, and fuel.. some other stuff... its going to be alot

 

I want one of those new ls2 / ls7 motors that there stuffing in the new C6 when they come out . . . . . . supposed to be able to bolt right up

Anybody wanna buy an ls1

 

panda it really depends on where u get it.. if u get it from a small shop that specializes in making motors.... it would probably be cheaper then buying something from say GM Performance.

 

Yo Twitch, I have a buddy that might be interested in your LS1. You selling the NOS with it too. I'm interested in the new C6 when it comes out soon. Anyone wanna buy an 02 firehawk with 12,000 K's. I'm open to offers to $40,000.
