My new block :)

[korndogg]

I pick it up on thursday (2/1/07)

block with SRP forged Pistons for $500 And thats all you guys need to know for the time being Ill say this. 500hp and 250 shot of nitrus on top of that If I have money left over.

[poormillionaire2]

That's bitchin'! But it looks like you got your work cut out for ya'.

[korndogg]

shouldnt be too hard to just throw parts on it lol.

[poormillionaire2]

So, where are all the other goodies to complete the thing? Hard to run an engine with just bare pistons and a block...unless you want to be called Fred Flintstone.

[korndogg]

Im ordering everything this weekend or next week at the latest.

Somebody filed their income tax early this year

thats what i thought, maybe im mistaken . but when u get the hp bug its hard to stay stock.

[korndogg]

well I was gonna keep the engine because its number matching n all. buuuuuut Ill just throw it in the corner of the garage and keep it instead.. lol

[wrightz28]

Good thinking

[Earlsfat]

Nice, you have 12 bolt in there right? The extra muscle ain't gonna chew up the original rear and trans is it? Cause you know... if Babs hops in on this thread he'll have you worked up to like 22,500 rwhp, lol.

(Didn't all maro's prior to 70 come with 12 bolts? Or was that just the ones with bigger engines?)

first gens i think had optional 12 blts in them. 2nd you could get the 8.5 inch 10 bolts....maybe...dont know for sure though

I know on the 1970, the RS package came with 12 bolt if you had an 8 cylinder (350?), but some prick swapped mine out for an 8.5" 10 bolt. I know the thing's been abused like a red-headed, club-footed, buck-toothed, knock-kneed, dyslexic, adhd-afflicted step child, but she's still there and strong so... to the 8.5" 10 bolt.

[korndogg]

yes I have a 12 bolt and yes Ill probably blow out the drivetrain eventually.


and who said anything about a 350??? yeah its a 350 BLOCK.
