Thread: 5.7 Chevvy

Over priced for a conversion. "Overfinch Replica" pfft.

"The engine is alot more reliable than the 15 yr old stock 4.6 V8s, and has alot more power." Of course one must assume that the new engine was newer than 15 years, etc.

its been up there a while!

How did he go about completing this?
I thought their were massive issues with "Tricking" the BECM when running an alternative Engine.....?

$12.5 k for a car that would normally go for just under $10k, with an LT1 conversion, i don't think its overpriced. And yes a lot more reliable engine, of around the same vintage. never really here of many problems with this engines

Think it might have a centrifugal blower aswell

I am temPted

well go on money bags, you could park it next to your mower, snob

I am very interested in this conversion... any more info on the car? did someone here do that kinda job? what would be involved as far as transmission and adapters is concerned? would the RR transmission be able to handle that kinda power boost? hmmmmm
I might just do this

Gonna ring soon, anyone up for a roadtrip

Just not going to have the time to build my own unfortunately
