ok then is there any v8 motor that is a fairly easy project but will still push out big horse?? say 400+ hp it could be fuel injected or carb dont really matter. fuel injected is slightly preferable. but not by much.

thx josh

oh and i did get the motor out it wasnt much fun but its out.

a 98 was meant to have a LS1, but an LT1 would work

Nothing is easy, best to find a donor car or it will nickel/dime you to death
