I kinda doudt I'll actually ever have the cash to do any of this but just for educational purposes. I have been investigating building my current engine to run 11's in street trim with out giving up decent manners and stuff like AC and power steering/brakes. I have talked to a few about putting e-heads and stuff on my current engine and the cost runs about 3500 for heads,headers,roller cam. I would probably end up over 4000 with a freshening up of the bottom end. I can buy a new GM 502 BBC that with a cam change made 650 hp about 100 more than Id make with the pontiac for about 5700.00 complete intake to oil pan.
If I could get it in the car for 7000.00 I really gotta consider it. Forged 4 bolt bottom end can go to 540 cid aftermarket parts in every flavor and plenty of local friends that know how to help me when I need tuning help. I am starting to think I've been a loner to long, and with the problems Ive had getting the current motor to run 12's. I have doudts about 11's even after the e-heads and stuff. I will probably give up on the idea because of job problems and just keep the car as is and cruise it around and pick on 4 cylinder Ricer mobiles at red lights until they too advance to where I can't beat them either.
