It will make an excellent starter motor if you've got a big block in there..

jorgensensc · 05-19-2004, 11:57 PM

Maybe your windows, or maybe only the locks

krazy_texan · 05-20-2004, 01:43 AM

man i thought that i was going to have to go to your house and open up a can on you

ACES · 05-20-2004, 02:48 AM

ok, you got me.

The only reason I even read this thread was to see everyone else crack on it.

Down hill, only, but it won't go any faster!

grayw0lf · 05-20-2004, 11:56 AM

I've heard those Hyundai motors are Great! They make really powerful lawn mowers & go carts.

stllookn · 05-20-2004, 12:20 PM

graywolf...only when they run!!!!!

dubie · 05-20-2004, 04:32 PM

oh man, you damn near made my water come shooting outta nose man!!!

"Truckhead" Hope you never cry wolf because no one's going to be believe you "AGAIN". I'm a sucker for even looking. (lol) "so cal tz"

dinnut · 05-20-2004, 05:40 PM

In all reality, probably no. its a fwd engien that would be severely underpowered for the application. wiring would be a problem too. so no, it wont work sorry. the fwd part alone would probably kill the deal

Chevyguy111786 · 05-20-2004, 05:48 PM

i garantee you you could make it work...it would cost way to much and wouldn't be practical and you would be stoned alive and then we would blow up your creation...but it would be possible...where there's a will there's a way...but why would you have the will?

68w/sbc406 · 05-20-2004, 09:26 PM

think of the gas mileage you could get

71swb4x4 · 05-21-2004, 12:02 AM

Not sure the gas mileage would be that great. You would really have to have that thing wound up just to move the truck.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 05-21-2004, 12:24 AM

the average little ricer motor has what? 140 horse? a 78 350 had what? 175?

Chevyguy111786 · 05-21-2004, 12:33 AM

no way...a 350 has more than 175 horse...stock it's gotta have like 220 or something at least

Not in 78, my corvette only had 185 stock and some only had 175.

Budweis · 05-21-2004, 02:07 AM

yeah mid 70's were bad on horsepower. for comparison a 1970 350 had 250 horsepower average and yes you right on on the vette horsepower, lol pretty pathetic the mid 70's were eh?

GMC Jim · 05-21-2004, 06:28 AM

Really... a Hyanduii Motor... Pardon me .. but I laughed so hard; the tears ran down my legs!

67ChevyC10Stepside · 05-21-2004, 12:43 PM

according to hot rod magazine the best 350 ever was the 70 1/2 camaro motor which had 370 horses and 380 torque. and the worst was in most cars and light duty trucks. with the 2 barrel in 71 and 72 it had a blistering 165 horses. and in 73 it had 145 horses....so some chevy v8s aint such a far cry from ricer power levels.

in 76 corvettes had 180 camaros had 165 and the standard issue 350 had 155 hp
in 77 camaro z28s had 170 hp
in 78 there was one 350 for corvettes with 195 horse and one special one with 225 horses

cochran63 · 05-21-2004, 01:32 PM

GMC JIM are you sure those were tears running down your leg?

68C15 · 05-21-2004, 02:24 PM

where is Josh when you need him most? we need to have drug testing prior to logging on.

just kidding here.
really guys, Hyundais are good cars.

ha-ha, no drug testing for me yet.

SEVEND2 · 05-22-2004, 03:18 AM

You plan on a Engine Swap??? Putting your 350, 400, 454 or ?? in your Hyundai????

Dam this thread made me Drop my Beer!!
You aint Right

dinnut · 05-22-2004, 03:05 PM

horsepower wouldnt be the issue, torque would. the v8 would have probably double the torque that 4 cylinder would. and torque is what gets you moving.... at full throttle youd probably be really bored
