welcome Joe to the forum nices Cutlass

Thanks for the comments guys. What plan on doing is building the car for for performance and reliability. My only problem is that I am having engine issuses and I dont know which way to go. It will either be a built 455 with say 400hse 400tq or I will do a lt1 4l60e combo. Im leaniing towards the lt1 combo because the trans has overdrive and that would make traveling alot more comfortable. At the same time the 455 would probably be a little more exciting.

I also plan on doing braking and handling upgrades down the road. I would be happy with a high 12 low 13 second time slip. Im guessing that would be possible with a little help from a converter and the right gear setup. All comments are welcome so let me know how you guys feel.

Thats a sick setup but its way out of my engine budget. But maybe...

[subtlez28]

Yeah, if you could swing it, I'm a HUGE believer in LS engines.

Or you could stick w the Olds engine and put a BOP 200-4R behind it and have budget torque and overdrive!

Either way, it is cool, BUILD IT!
