Your not alone!!! This was taken today after I smoked the tranny. Second one in 3 months. 
Scorp....you'll be on the up and up before you know it. The nuclear banana(As EZGOIN721 calls it) will be back in action soon I'm sure. :cheers:

Scorp508 we have a 388 that will out run most all street F-bodys and it loves NOS too.
If you were a little closer to SC you could use it for that track day.
But you would have to do a little more tuneing to it.

That's a new one. "Here, we've got this motor, just use it if for a day or two" :crazy:
Sounds like a whole lot of work to me. If I ever have to swap an engine I want it to stay in there for a while.
Cool concept though, if it wasn't such a PITA that would be ideal. Hmm, today do I want my race motor or my street motor.............................

Go ahead and stick the 305 in there, you'd have a very rare car then :lol: :lol:
(For those that don't know I had an 80 with the stock 305 LG4. It pulled a best of 18.79 in perfect weather.)

Re: (scorp508)
After I stuck an Edelbrock carb and intake on my LG4 I had an estimated 110 HP at the rear wheels. I'd like to beat the GM person who decided to put that motor in the Vette. I'd also like to kick my own a** for buying it.
