I got a 68 chevy truck the other day and Im dying to make it a sleeper. I dont want to put a buick motor in it (dont throw rocks at me). Instead I been looking into building a 454 for it since I have one sitting around here somewhere. Well I picked up a issue of car craft yesterday and hey did a budget setup for about 3,500 if I remember correctly and it was in the 700 to 900 range on power, but they used all brand new parts and turbo (I dont remember a exact number).
They did this on a cast crank, stock rods, and pistons. Yea, that is what I said and if tuned properly it would hold it for along time. Now the had a set of heads, cam, intake, and so fourth already there making it a bit over 500 hp already.
Im just seeing if there was any other good budget setups out there to talk about or not.
