well it easier for you to say build the 5.0 but my old man said a negative to the 5.0, he doesnt think that i am serious to build one. plus, if i do get the 5.0 im not goin to have the motor in right away anyways. he thinks since i only had my license for a couple of months that i dont have that much driving experience, which i understand why, but like i said i wont by stuffin it in the engine bay right away. on that note im goin to talk to him again and tell him my idea with that.
Well yea, im 17 myself. But my dad taught me how to race. So i gues... it's all in the family with that one.
If i was you, i'd let him know how easy it is to build a 302 *5.0*
Even a STOCK 302 wouldn't give you but 200+ hp and would be a great start
and on that note, a stock 302 is REALY Cheap, your looking at 1-2k for that one. If you got friends with spare engines, alot cheaper.
Go find a junkyard and find a old one, and then get the block Cleaned and bored 30 over
and then go to work
I think others would agree, im not the smarted guy on the block.
but thats my 02
