Well, as many of you know, our Tampa meet at the end of the month is gonna have the legendary race between Jonas and I. It's like the biggest thing on the site, and will be remembered for years and video taped from every angle.
Anyway, I was thinking how my old 307 is too close of a match for the HT4100, so I started looking into other options. I was going to get a '74 472 and build it up a bit, but money is tight and by the time i get done with accessiories and transmission, it would be wayyy too much money.
So I ws looking in the paper, and a guy is selling his mildy built Olds 350 out of his '72 Cutlass cause he is building a 455 for it. He said it has around 300hp but still idles really smooth.... only $500 and he isn't too far either. It would be a direct swap for my 307 too!!!!
I want to know the best way to make it look stock in my '89 Fleetwood Brougham, from single exit mild exhaust to old grungy looking valve covers, I don't want Joans, or anyone else that will be witnessing this race to know that I don't have a 307 in the car.
Also the 200R4 should be fine with 300hp in this heavy of a car, right? atleast for a while until I can afford a hi-po rebuild....
Thanks! I can't wait, I am sooo excited about this, but I want it to be a race to remember!
