Default motor or chassie?

ok have a choice between getting racing spring's, shocks and struts and sway bars

bucket seat
demon 600 carb
replica cobra r's with falken tire's
flow master 2 chamber muffler's
lighten fly wheel
king cobra clutch
summit clutch puadrent and cable
and i know im missing something as well.

now all of this OR


a brand new boss 302?
cast aluminum head's
9.5 1 compression
all forged internal
only thing it would need is a car to put it in a carb to put on it and an oil flush.


but i know that my car can handle the motor how it sits now.

you better have a strong leg if you get that King Cobra clutch. A friend of mine has one in his Saleen, drove it one time. Wont drive it again lol.


oh yea, and i would go with the engine. if its a real Boss 302 block then if you ever decide to go alot bigger you can with no worries

True story on the King Cobra clutch. I have one...you will have a sore leg for about 2 weeks.....Better hope you don't have to drive in heavy traffic downtown for a while. LOL I think Zoom makes one that holds as well as the king cobra, but requires about 1/2 the effort on the pedal. Ask Dave at Genium. He could tell you exactly which one it is I'm sure.

Build the car from the back to the front. Motor being last. Get the hp you have to the ground then once you've done that, increase hp. -Mark
