He didn't say anything juicy.... Just that he's not interested in it. Yes I'd rather pay 3.5k for him to do it properly tbh.... I'd only balls something crucial up and have to rebuild it 5 times!
Ok lads... Given I've not got the right experience myself... Which alternative v8 fits this bill:
Must give at least 250bhp
Must mate to a known good manual box (r380 for instance)
Must sound like a proper burbling v8 (stag style)...
I'm really not into the f1 style v10 or 12 engine noises... The noise is one of the most important factors here. Burble burble burble.
A rebuilt 3.9 / 4.2 on Holley carbs and manifold, high lift cam, ported heads, headers and a proper from the headers down twin 3 inch exhaust, preferably with glass pack cherry bomb rear boxes. Simples, or if you can get an adaptor plate made, a 350 Chevy small bloc would suffice if only 250hp is what you want.
