Hi everyone,
Since I got rid of my Olds powered truck, I have been pondering my next project. I want to build a G-body, maybe an eventual FE3X one off. I would like to use the Hurst L-rod shifters, but maybe a manual, I am unsure. This will be a 80 percent street car, but I want it to be a high performance street car. I dont care about fuel economy, as it will be my toy. I have also considered maybe a 60s cutlass, like a 66 or 67, or a 72. I like all these cars, its just a matter of what I find. I am up in arms about the power plant tho. I was thinking maybe a 425, or a 455, but then I thought maybe I should do a stroker twin turbo DX 350. As far as fiscal resourses, I have none, this will be a long term project. So I am intrested to hear your thoughts, opinions, and input. If there is anything else you want or need to know, just post it up and ill answer ASAP. Thanks for any and all replies! I have no idea where this car will eventually end up, and I am open to all suggestions. I am looking for somewhat of a unique combo, and I dont care what kind of numbers it makes as long as it can get out of its own way. Thanks again for your input!

Hi andrewk, hello everyone,

First, find and buy the car you want to spend the rest of your life with. Then you will know exactly what your options are.

My present project is a Diesel or DX (I have one of each and a 425 crank) that will be a CA smog legal 427" SBO, similar to the 439" BBO in my red coupe.

Don't know what car it will go into, but I've had a 454" Chev on a stand for the last 15, or so, years. If I'd bought the car first, I'd have one less engine in my garage.

Regards, Norm

Thanks for the input Norm. I think that I should find the car first and worry about the build later.
