GOD IS BED posted:As someone who lives in Texas, with 100+ degree summers, these seats look like a cruel joke. Yeah; the seat's already starting to tear, and someone's cut a hole in the door to fit a speaker. Gross

Enourmo posted:Land barges look cool but unless they've been hot-rodded they tend to be absolute pigs that are terrible to drive, even in a floaty-highway-couch kinda way. I dunno, 350HP is easy as pie (cam, headers, 4-barrel) and it slots nicely into that "effortless power to get out of its own way, but not fast" zone in the middle of your extremes there

Enourmo posted:Am I missing something? Cause that looks like a malaise-era American Car. By which standards 350hp is a hot rod. I admit I was thinking of something older and bigger based on the description (isn't that a midsize?), but I think that's still a RWD V8 so it can't be that bad, can it? Both SBC and BPO have aftermarket support.

Deteriorata posted:A 1980 Oldsmobile got a whopping 105 hp from a 4.3L V8. The 5.0L V8 would bump you to 150 hp. Sure, and if you do the simple stuff like cam/intake/4-bbl/headers like I suggested above, all that stuff goes away. Although I've never owned a BPO, so maybe they all suck like you suggest. E: Although this is all academic, since it's a malaise era car that's not going to be cool no matter what you do to it, just like every G-body that isn't black with a <6 on the fender. Far be it from me to defend an 80s anything. Raluek fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Mar 7, 2018 |

STR posted:Just saw the Ford. Yeah that's not a '72, which would also have an FE anyway. I think you're right about the correct years. I am relieved to see that nothing of value was lost, except a running 460.
