why the caddy motor?
Well, I have one in my current Blazer and it's pretty much completely stock and I love the thing. With an Edelbrock intake, it's only 30lbs heavier than a Chevy SB! Not that weight savings are real important on this rig. I'm not against using a Chevy BB, but the thoughts of a stroked Caddy motor just gets my blood pumping. What it may come down to is how I'll be able to hook the engine up to the deuce tranny. We'll have to see when I get everything together. The guys at MTS build the 540 strokers and they are putting out 550hp and 600lb-ft. Check it out HERE. The Maximum stroker kit is around $2000 and it includes everything you could need like the crank, pistons, cam, bearings, valve-train, etc... I'm going to keep doing my homework. A 502 ramjet would be nice too or a Cummins with a straight pipe.....
Sincerely, Chris:p
