I'll point out a dumb idea regardless of the poster
and..
I would propose that if I came to the board wanting to do something of this nature that the peanut gallery would certainly speak up as well [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I didn't however, know there was a direct bolt-up kit for the 3.4 THAT would certainly be interesting but I think the 3.8 is the way to go for me. It'd likely not be a Grand National spec motor, more likely a newer series 2 with a supercharger already attached and I'd do mild cam and headers as well as dual exhaust to make it worth the effort.....also I think the Muncie 5 speed would be in order.
I've heard of guys doing it and running some pretty sick numbers in the quarter mile.....I just want something that nobody would ever expect. Like a green Cav RS with nothing out of the ordinary except a deep exhaust rumble that smokes mustangs and Ferrari's

I don't like TA's or Fire Chickens or Camaro's.
Besides, I have a motor I can pick up for 200 bucks that runs.....comes with a Buick Park Avenue that's totalled....but it's got a supercharger and the muncie automatic.

Actually the 1979 TA with the 400 was not much of a 1/4 mile stormer nor did it have massive torque numbers. The potential is there but it was choked to allow it to pass emissions.
Lot's of experience with these F-bodies as well as the 400ci.
Could it be made to run stronger? Of course. But we're back to what Brandon is in the course of doing.......modifying.
Whether you're modifying a VW bug, a Chevrolet Cavalier, a Toyota truck, a Honda Civic, or a Dodge Duster, to each their own. Leave it at that.
