? what engine are you putting in this car

 

I decided to go with the lq4 6.0, stroked to a 408.

 

I don't own my own machine shop, but I have a friend who's a welder and has all the welding equipment. I'm sure with time and patience this could be done in a garage, right? I'm pretty sure I saw an episode on horsepower TV a long time ago about them doing a rear end garage build. I'll have to look that up.

 

thats big money your putting in this car ,are you thinking about super charger ,I know how my friend will make 2015 challenger make 1000hp ,right now its stock 610hp he will get 300hp with the super charger an few bolt ons to get near 1000hp ,but he also spent like $46,000 for the car ,an its like $7000.00 for the charger ,he likes to go fast said 150mph feels smooth ,hes due for a ticket too,an owns a restaurant so I guess that how he Affords it,pulled pork good stuff to 408 makes 6.7 L darn close to 6.8 mine is near 6.7 at 406 ci,but not close enough yours would be,seen 408 stroker ls3 all forged 650hp $10.900.00 ,is not bad ,though I am pretty sure you can build it ,that's not bad for that kinda HP

 

Haha, it's not going to be cheap, but I am trying to do a budget friendly build...kinda. I've decided to go with a twin turbo setup. My goal is to build an engine that can produce about 600hp N/A. That way with the turbos, I should be able to get close to my 1000hp goal. That's why I chose the LQ4, it doesn't take much to get those in the 500-600hp range N/A. Yours is punched out to a 406, that's awesome. Are you still running the LT1 or did you change it out for an LS?

 

Actaully I checked out that engine an for $10.900 for what you get its not a bad price ,you get all every thing ,more then I got for my turn key ,the whole belt assembley Ac starter fuel injection water pump power streeing ,only thing you don't get is the wireing harness other wise its a true turn key an for that price you get a lot ,mine was 7000.00 after all the pulleys a mock ups an trany too though,a belt assembley can cost $2000.00 alone,though I relize I could have got fuel injected engine for about the same an saved some head aches live an learn

 

600 wheel is going to be difficult out of a 6.0 without high comp and expensive heads/intake.

 

yes the 6.0L is 366 Ci engine so if your going with 408 6.7 L ,your boring that 6.0 out to get 620 hp ,an the one I was looking at for 10.900 with everything is 427 7.0 ,you will part an engine together for a lot more then that ,that's a project bish

 

Picked up the heart for the beast. This past week. Got it disassembled and ready to drop off at the machine shop.

 

sounds good .let us know when its back the 408 should be bad as s
