Am I Crazy?
My dad informed me a few weeks ago that he would take care of the engince/trans for my 84.
After some talking, i convinced him of the idea of putting a T-56 in it. All is well. The plan was for a hot little small block, something like a 383 that me and him could build ourselves. He's now changed his mind. He wants to jam a 502 into my truck now, but i don't want it. I want this thing to have some street manners, and 500hp seems a little extreme for the street, and the mpg would kill me if i ever wanted to drive it any considerable distance. i actually have a question now that i am typing this. how much more weight approximately will the BB add? i was planning on dropping my truck at least 4/6, but i'm afraid the extra weight might cause me problems. also, i can't seem to convince him that i need a posi rear. he says that if i ain't gonna drag race it, what's the use? just seems ludicrous to me to have a hot engine, and no posi rear. |
