its hella dope.. i'm currently working on my 262 Bertone Coupe. Saturday I'm going to dallas to pick up my engine.. a fully built 355 made for nitrous. I got to drive Tom H.'s blue v8 244 once and that was fun as hell.. chasing a trans am all around in a brick. It cost a lotta money and takes a LOT of time. You CAN do a cheap swap with a 305 because those are a dime a dozen. My friend actually has a 305 were gonna go throw away tomorrow because its useless to us. I'm going for performance. THe longblock I'm buying is gonna cost me $1600 and that is minus the water pump, intake, carb, and distributor. Since I have a v6 in my coupe stock I don't need to change the springs, swaybars, or dick with the rear brake porportioning valve either which will definatly make things easier. So far I'm several months behind as far as the conversion goes.. I was thinking I'd already have my engine in there by now but as it turns out I'm just now getting started and I am expecting it to be like 2-3 more months before I finish. Mainly becuase I"m going for performance crap. Since my engine has a solid grind nitrous cam with a 590 lift imma have put a 2,5000 stall torque converter on there because even at idle the car would still move with my foot on the brakes. Its crap like that where u start spending money. I COULD do a 305.. but what's the fun in that.
