GM added a whole fleet of engines for sale.

I think I'll pick up on of those 572's for the low low price of $12,000. Dealer near me also has an all aluminum 454 for $16,000.

You know... that would be an engine with a seat when you got done.

I mean, you'd have something like a topfuel car.

[geoffinbc]

In a CAPRICE? Na. They are quite the tank of a car.

[TheProfessor]

that would be cool to put the lsj supercharged ecotec in a retta or a j body

Eh, even 720hp wouldn't make a 4000lb Caprice TOO outrageously fast.

Don't get me wrong, it would be a beast, that's for sure.

I am actually looking for a swap for my Trans-am but??? the ZZ4 kit is what ...no longer availible...

I have a stock Borg warner 5 speed and I was wondering what the comfortable limits are??

383 Stroker??

I don't want guad awful head slapping neck breaking power, although hmmm I don't know, what economic engine shall I look into.

[geoffinbc]

What year T/A?

383 would be pretty sweet

you looking at a 10 sec car if you can get 750 to the ground. That's pretty fast. Keep in mind however these engine show flywheel HP you'll lose 20-30% of your power from the flywheel to the tires. This is why you want to look at torque as well. You need torque to move mass.

I have a 1986 Firebird TA t-top hatch-back with a 5.0L V8 HO 5-speed I rarely sit in it.

I am trying to pull the heads, but man it is a PIA. I got the drivers side out, but the passenger side is giving me a difficult time. The car sat for so long that the head gaskets were leaking and the valve seals leaked down alot as expected.

So thats why I am looking to replace the engine.
