I think im sick. (considering a domestic)

[wannab20hatch]

Ever since i started working at barry grant(demon carbs) and hearing 350's and 502's on the motor dyno all day im starting to want a domestic. Im seriously considering buyin an older chevy pickup and moddding it a little bit.(new motor,paint,fully shaved, and prolly air suspension) Anyone else ever considered switching sides? I mean i love imports and all but i think its time to build a truck.

Doesn't make you sick at all. If you love autos, then you love autos. Later, QD.

Thats why I am back to one honda, selling my other one, and buying a 66/67 Chevelle SS396. There are hardcore fanatics out there that are loyal to only one brand, then there are those of us who are car fanatics that love all kinds. I love all kinds of makes and models but grew up on the old hot rods and mini trucks so that is where my passion really lies.

dude if i had some extra cash laying around i'd buy a 02+ cobra, or a black T/A with Ws6 package.....i just want to see people's reaction when a skinny indian kid pulls up with a cobra...or black T/A.

i got love for all types of cars...i just like making fun of domestics though...

Buy a domestic and dump half as much into it as you would a 4cyl, and go twice as fast

i'm still waiting on the prices for the new GTO's to drop ;)

Pretty much. I mean looking at crate motors their like 3700 and i think i could prolly get them a little cheaper seeing as how demon makes the carbs for chevy/gm crate motors. the only real downfall i see to building such an old car is havin to eventually bite the bullet and fully restore it. i mean isntead of having to replace little shit here and there.

But the difference there is that if you build a car that is woth something, ss chevelles, late 60's camaros, 55-57 chevy bel airs, etc. The money you invest in them you can get back out easily. The older cars might require more work but you can't just go to the dealership and buy one. It is an investment that if done right can yeild most of your money back if you decide to sell it. Now grant it this does not apply to newer muscle cars but the older ones.

im looking at like 64-72 chevy trucks.

[JITB]

yea, u actually gain value by restoring oldere vehicles.. Thats a definite plus.

[wannab20hatch]

Doesnt matter what "Side" your on per say, If you have a love for cars/trucks, who cares if its a domestic or import. I have had quite a few times I have thought of doing a truck or even getting another type of Domestic, Im right there with ya :D

maybe b/c they have 2 times the motor. :goodjob:

if i had to get 1 tho i would get a vette, pretty realiable and quick.

[Cliff]

i was thinkin about switchin over to domestics...then i did....i went dodge then honda honda and then chevy......i would rock an asian, a euro, a domestic anything a car is a car to me...and my uncle is restoring my pa's old 62 chevy inline 6 old school is the way to go...a blown v8 is a beautiful thing

[wannab20hatch]

it would be swet to have it blown. 502 with an 871 blower but i dont wanna spend 12-15K on a motor.

that is EXACTLY what i was gonna say.... im buildin a 455 for a cutlass right now and it costs .....1/2 as much as a fuckin b16 or b18 ..... and get 3x the HP and like 5x the torque...for less money.... cant go wrong there

[Buford®]

Don't do it, Ron! Buy that 240sx. You know you want to.

^^^Thats fuckin badass

[SL65AMG]

yeah...that truck looks kinda bad ass..... but thats the most useless thing ive seen..... stacked blowers.....yeah lets compress, compressed air and blow out my block / throw numerous rods. GREAT idea.... its much more cost effecient to throw a blower on a larger C.I. engine.... like a 454 or 502 ...or a 572 if u got the balls.... heh.... but NOT 2 blowers on a 350.....= dumb (IMHO)

[gen2biscuit]

^^^ No. This is bad ass:
