Buinicorn the 1964 Skylark wagon sleeper

Like I said, goals. You want to build an 8 sec. 2500 Lb. car as a station wagon, go for it.

All I know is if THAT is a "lunch money" motor and we ever go out to eat YOU are picking up the check!

the Microsofties are the lunch money donors....

in other news, I need to find a 97-08 motor.... still think I should find a rwd for the accessories, but that's mostly ignorance on my part.... perhaps they're the same configuration fwd/rwd?

2500 Lb.? No hate intended, really.

Actually GNX guys go mid 7s...

lol, really. those GNX guys are running that block that I'm planning on using - the GN blocks are good to 500 without major fixes and even then require partial or even full fill.... I want to drag week this so I need a cooling system.

my 70 Skylark with a 455 and 4 speed was 3200 lbs as per scales near my home..... so no, no kidding..... all that safety stuff they load into cars these days add a great deal of weight - by comparison people are 'doing good' with a GNX if they get to 3800 lbs.... The Corvette, with it's 'light fiberglass panels' is 3600 and 3300 if you really do some solid weight reduction.... or consider this, the 50 Buick Sedanet that is on the waiting list - it weighs 1600 lbs right now (with no motor/trans).... the Fiat 124 I have weighs more at 1800 lbs.

Even more on that vein, which do you think weighs less, my 1994 Diesel suburban or my 2018 Colorado? how about the FJ40 v. my wife's 2014 Jeep JK?

I've had all of these on the scales... it goes like this... the Suburban weighs 200 lbs less then the Colorado. The FJ40 weighs 600 lbs less then my wife's JK....

All the work and lightening on my C3 Corvette... I'll be lucky to be under 3500 lbs

Now to sound dumb and creepy, the YouPullit motor is for test fit?

yep - and for all those stupid parts that take forever to find - e.g. accessory bracket bolts - and never are right the first, second or even third time....

Eight seconds? I guess goals are good.

2500 lb car, 1170 hp

I don't get the hate but then again, it makes gloating later so much better.

So was Freddy Mercury.... so what? great music seems to come from the greatest outlier - so if your point is you need to be gay to be great at music, what happened to you?

run down times on Drag Week - there lies the clue as to why a V6 instead of a BBC.... while sure you can play with bucks down, the dollars the BB power adders are playing with is nowhere near my zip code..... on the other hand, there is a good natured rivalry in the 6 cyl. land... and in that land I can afford to play - while I'm sure I'll never do much there (too ADD for that) having a turbo V6 that takes the lunch money from Microsofties could be fun...."nothing to see here, just an old guy in a Buick wagon who thinks he's fast...."

thats my favorite priest song.
however now knowing rob halford is gay makes me hear,
"im your t@rdhole lover"..... just saying.

still love the song tho. so hes gay, so what. let him
be him. anyway yes yes, i see all your points--and
i guess that answers the question. so now you either
pony up the $ to do the v6 to 1000+hp, or run "only"
500hp.

or take the easy way out with my recipe. no time to yawn
when its over in 8....and 8's with turbo=YAWN to me. more
so with twins, i mean YAH its got turbos, of COURSE it
honks, daaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.... i mean-- it bettter, right?

what WOULDNT make crazy power with 30-80psi?
and i bet you could do 2-3 complete 454's for what that v6
build above cost when its all said and done.

but again, whatever you do its going to be awesome.
and i still vote for the naked lady ridding a dragon motif.

They say there are three Barras running at this years Drag Week, in a few weeks you'll know what your target is.

I can send you over one if you want, then you won't have to chase one you can be one! .
