My 77 Camaro hoping one day to drop an LS motor in it.

 

Backyard full of muscle cars. Mostly old Pontiacs.

Always loved these body styles and front ends!!

...^^^... Got to drive a Unimog a long time ago.

Maybe best 4WD ever ... have some old pics somewhere sitting in a Unimog at a convention.

 

Daayuum....... so many choices.

Makes me wish Mopar still did reasonable crate engines. They dumped them all a couple of years ago when Fiat came into the picture (back when I didn't want or need a crate engine). Now I'm looking around at them because I'm toying with the idea of picking up a 70's shortbed & dropping a 383/A833 into it and they're considerably more expensive, lol.

I'll probably end up just finding an old block in good shape and rebuilding it, if I decide to do that.

 

My Nova engine was built by a friend and myself years ago. With all the crate engine options available from chevy,it almost doesn't pay to have one built, after all the expenses of a quality DIY build. It is fun putting one together, but if I had to do it today,that 383 stroker would be on a pallet ready to go.

 

That's exactly right. A lot of times you can buy a brand new crate motor (with a warranty!) for less money than you can rebuild one for, especially with what the performance add-on parts cost these days.

Seems Mopar is still selling crate motors and short blocks.

The reflection on the tip looks like a retarded cross breed between Lightning McQueen and tow mater.

 

Hey, didn't I see this roll across Barrett Jackson this year?
