Thanks for the help bro

[89IROC&RS]

thanx vlad, ask away when your ready, im not the most knowledgeable guy on here by any means, but ill answer what i can.

and genopsyde, to my knowldege, youve said quite a few things that were good suggestions. personally im a small block man myself, but i suggested the big block for strictly strip racing, especially cuz its such a heavy car. its just a matter of tourqe, but a 383 is a great starting place too. and will probly rev faster to boot.

[89IROC&RS]

oh and genopside,im lookin to put up pics of my RS in my sig, but my pics are on a disk, like, CD rom deal, does that matter? or do they have to be online somewhere?

[Vlad_Tepes]

89IROC&RS

yeah they have to be uploaded.
Go to the gallery feature in th CP and up load your pic and use it for your sig

[89IROC&RS]

ah HA! thanx vlad, lets see if im smart enough to do this

[Genopsyde]

89, yea the big block is perfect for strip only, but I suggested the 383 because he seems to be a beginner in this field and the 383 would be a perfect beginner engine and all the other good stuff.

[1992RS]

Not perfect if he's gonna build it himself though. He can get a 502/502 out of the box.

[89IROC&RS]

oh by the way, thanx vlad and genopsyde for helpin me get my sig workin, ya think its to big? but yeah, i think genopsyde is talkin about the 383 as a good all around engine for a racer, turn driver/showcar, and to be fair, we both talked about modding the 502, so it would be pretty much the same song and dance either way.

[Genopsyde]

you can get a 383 outta the box too, beginner is the key word tho, shouldn't hand over too much power to someone who doesnt' know how to handle it, know what i mean.

[89IROC&RS]

very wise words, i suppose thats something none of us had tought of. and you said you never have good ideas ppsshhhhhtt!!!

[DaviX]

pictures i took of the car...
the owner wouldnt sell it for less then 4K$USD
what do u guys say, is it worth it?
it's going to be an strip only drag car.

[89IROC&RS]

wow, is there any reason you feel so inclined to punish yourself this way??? that car looks like its got the cancer bad, youre looking at alot of body work. probly replacing a lot of body panels, who knows how bad the inside is, also, it looks like its seen its fair share of accidents, so the frame condition is questionable. i dunno man, seeing as how rare it is over there, i just personally wouldnt put forth the effort on it. but thats me, where i can go out and find a hundred camaros for sale ya know? if its what you truely want, and think you can handle the project its going to be. go for it.

After all the discussion on the 502, I was ready to jump in and suggest the ZZ572 despite the fuel injection. However, after reading Genopsyde's post, that is definitely the smart move. I personally would venture so far as to say that David should start with a 350 and when he wants to move up and feels more comfortable, he can swap in a stroker crank to hit 383. Those two variables, plus the never ending search for the perfect cam and heads will probably keep him busy for quite a while, at least until he becomes more familiar with our hobby. What do you guys think?

[boots03]

hey, if the car is what you want, i would get it, or atleast for the rarity of it, but if it was me here in the states, i would say, hell no.
