well, I want to open up the 425 a little... what I really want to do is an all out performance build on a 472/500
For the 425, as far as performance goes, I want to install the modified 472 intake manidolf (once it gets modified) and the rebuilt carb (once it gets rebuilt) then get a nice free flowing dual exhaust on the car, which will stay on the car even with the 472/500, so that'll be a good investment.
Then I would like to find the rear end from a commercial chassis/factory towing package car... I want those 2.78 gears, Posi, and rear disc brakes just to show off
I know a cam and head work would do wonders.... but I really didn't want to get *that* involved with the 425....
Plus I'll be in FL in a couple months, with no cash to do anything with the car (in tech. school) so sooner or latter the car is going (back) to Florida.... so the 425 will power its way down there, I have always wanted a '77-'92 RWD Deville/Brougham to do a nice build up with, and I got one hell of a steal on the car a little over a month ago.... so now that I have the car, I can wait.... well, I really want to get a 472/500 just to "have" it, but now i am just waiting on funds.
Plus, I think between the carb/intake manifold and dual exhaust, the 425 will be running better already.... I know as it is right now, the carb is already causing (performance) issues...
