Thanks.

I like the newer style but also like the older just because its different, and in my town there are very few thirdgen's i might have the only one, I like being different. And since this is my first car im planning on keeping it for as long as i can...

If the motor is still available ill probably buy and store until i get the funds...When you said 1-2k that a big difference, would this depend on parts/labor? What if i just wanted everything back stock?

Oh, and about a tbi supercharger...mines a TPI so i dont think that would work, also with the tpi it gets better mpg than what im getting, the mpg seems ****ty as it is, wouldnt a SC make it worse??

Thanks

 

I've been thinking, should i buy the engine for $250 then get it rebuilt or look for another lt1 in the $1500-2k range w/ less than 100k miles, and just swap it in?Which makes more sense?

 

out of http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch kits what i want? And what else would i need besides machining?

 

it might run you more money and aggrevation in the long run. Your better off finding a new motor off of jegs or something. A new 350 with 300hp will run you around $4,000 maybe. Same price as supercharging a tbi maybe. With a brand new engine, you'll have no worries plus more hp. Building from a bare block LT1 is costly and also is used. But either way, the pricing between both will be the same. It's all a matter of if you want to wait or not. Good luck to you anyways!

 

P.S: also if you buy a motor from jegs, its warranty i believe is 3 years. So if something break or a part goes, they will send you a new one for free, and a certificate towards getting the motor fixed. My friend just purchased GT-40 for his 91 stang, and this is what he told me.

 

That makes sense, I think im just gonna scratch the idea for now, i think ive got enough power now, plus a kid with a 300hp sports car prolly isnt the best match...haha especially in the winter here...

I think im just going to do small mods to the 305, new intake, headers, already got exhaust. I have the LB9 V8, pushing 215 stock. What else could i do to put the engine in the 250hp range?
Thanks

 

find a good 350 and swap the tpi intake and change the computer(has to be done to feed the 350)you may want to use the heads off the 305 if they are the H.O. heads everything will bolt rite up.

 

Like I said before money is an issue and since im a kid and dont know a whole lot, i would have to pay someone to swap it....

Im just going to do little things to the 305,, i dont want to spend all my money on the engine, i want to redo the interior this summer.

Will exhaust,headers, and intake get me to 250hp when it came 215 stock?

 

get a decent cam, 1.6 rockers, and a decent set of heads and you'll be far over 250hp. A complete exhaust even with high flow cats will get you maybe 15 hp at the most, and intake anywhere from 4-7hp.

 

any chance you could post some links or specs of what i would need? I dont really know much all the cam **** and sizes..about how much would each of those things cost..around?
thanks
