thats way too much car to have an sr20 pushing it… Id say 427 or 454 with a 6 speed. ---

i think an old style motor with a carb would be interesting, but im sure it would be easier to put a LS2 in the car, but an LS6 would be bad ass (but im sure you would pay a pretty penny for one of those). ---

> [@grandamld9](#): > > i think an old style motor with a carb would be interesting, but im sure it would be easier to put a LS2 in the car, but an LS6 would be bad ass (but im sure you would pay a pretty penny for one of those). Uhhh, LS2 \> LS6. Same HP and more TQ (I’m not talkin’ GM ratings here, but real-world results). The LS2 has LS6 heads plus many improvements and .3L more displacement. The only part that is said to be worth less HP is actually the 90mm TB & Intake which have actually proven to make less power than the LS6 stuff (at least on otherwise stock motors). Also, LS2s are probably fetching more $ than LS6s right now. And there’s more $ involved in puttin’ a LS2 into a LS1 platform (such as the '04 GTO) since some major sensors are relocated (cam position sensor, knock sensors). Anyway… I see no reason to put a carbed big block in it like so many are suggesting. Gen III/IV motors have proven to make more rwhp and better area under the curve than _most_ street-able carbed BBCs. So why put more weight in the already heavy car for less HP? So my vote goes for whatever is readily available to Pewter: LS1/LS6/LS2. Just mod whichever one you have ready to the power level you need. -TJ PS- either that or just sell it to me really cheap! Serioulsy. ---
