contemplating 302w stroked to 347 or boss 290 standard or barra240t all would be mated up with a tr6060 gear box going in to a te corty what would every one else do
-
all comes down to $$$$ and what ya wana do with it carby would be cheaper
290 boss eng would be nice but will be a very very tight squeese those engs are huge just put a fg xr6 turbo eng in we are getting 376rwk at 15.5 boost and its quick all comes down to $$
-
roughly $15000 to spend
-
prob would be easier with the xr6 turbo engine
there a lot lighter and can get a shit load of power
-
where is a good place to buy one
-
yeah u might have issues with a boss engine as they're wider than a big block. xr6t engines are on ebay all the time otherwise any decent wrecker.
-
what diff should i run and where would i get engine and gear box mounts, also fuel system
-
well if you go with a xr6t eng all piss easy you can get a eng and g/box with wireing lumb from many wreckers you can try franks parts plus but in my opinion they are to expencive u can get all the stuff u need off ebay for bout $$3,500 beponding on what trans u want auto or man eng mounts are easy i made mine from 8mm plate steel u can run a vl turbo fuel pump that should do the job on the bosses fg turbo we runnin a surge tank but prob not needed pop into my workshop one day ill be able to explain better all stuff only take a good couple hours to mount one i might even be able to do the job for ya if ya cant do it ya self
