Re: Anybody Done This?
Why not take engine you got and drop in a performance crank, cam, pistons 10:1 ratio, ported heads, roller lifters, roller rockers, supercharge it running around 16 to 18 lbs. of boost and deal with tranny upgrade along with other small things I left. Run 1000 hp and smoke all 4 at a time. You could even take the 5 speed and select transfer case out of a 3/4 ton Silverado and have manual where you can run 2 or 4 wheel drive. Money may work out the same but, you would have trannt upgrade where you would not with the single engine change. Oh, I do believe it can be done the way you are thinking you would just be doing away with computers if you run carb. then switch tranny over to vacumm control where it is computer controlled right now.
Well just my thoughts it could be priced out both ways. My off the cuff is you would spend more changing out engines.
The tranny change is something I'm thinking about doing possibly for 2010 spring sema shop contest for Motorsports Authority and Dragon.
