decisions....
 

hey guys heres the deal. i have the chance to get a cadillac 500 with 400 tranny for 350 bucks. i love my lil 383 stroker but my dad has raised me to love speed. i think ill be able to sell my stroker for 2 thousand worst price but how much would it be to get the 500 to get above the 410hp mark ( thats what the strokers at). i know ill need a lighter crank but what else ? i already have the 4 core rad to keep it cool and i cut my own exhaust so thats np. and has anyone done it before? and the cadillac motor is garanteed running. thanks guys

you may not make high hp for real cheap but your torque numbers will be whats truly impressive and fun to drive... Sorry I cant help though:)

That caddy will jerk your truck around smartly, even bone stock. And the fuel economy will surprise you That combination was designed to hual 6000 + pounds around town and still jump when asked. You can spend a ton of money building a 600 HP, high rpm screamer, but it's really not necessary. An intake manifold and carb swap and some ignition upgrades will give you coffee spillin', tire shreddin' torque and a rear gear change will get you a 17-1800 RPM Fuel sippin' cruise without loosin' the snap.
