i'm posting this in several servers to get opinions or technical information on such a concept
any input is appreciated
i have a buddy whom is hotrodding an olds 88 from 1956
he wants to modify the manual transmission in it from a 3 speed column shifter to a 5 speed column shifter
hes placing a 394 1961 Sky Rocket V8 into it
he's got a guy who can build custom transmissions so he's asking around for more information, i told him about this idea of mine and he asked me for more info on how such a thing could work in a 56 oldsmobile 88
no pop up lights 🤢
@Indigo Lucifer how is he asking you how it would work. You can put any engine and trans in any car. It's just a metal shell
no one mentioning its a fox body

Have some rares, lads.
Asking for a friend, should he have a mid life crisis at 19 and get a C3 Corvette and modify it to race spec and swap in a BB 427 and resell it for profit
yes
if you have a shop
I don't know if I have ever actually seen a race C3, they may or may not suck as a platform compared to later more popular platforms (like a C5)
c3 is trash unless it has a big block and a turbo 400.
I asked him his plan and he said he was gonna get a 427 big block and throw on some aluminum rectangle port heads and an 1000CFM Holley with a full coilover conversion.
he sort of wants to replicate the greenwood corvettes
Is he doing anything to the chassis, brakes, cooling?
he said hes keeping the chassis stock for now, brakes he said he might make bigger depending on how it feels, for cooling hes adding in electric fans
>adding a big block and bolt ons to a fiberglass car
cant wait to hear the obituary his parents make when it wraps around a pole
rip another Zoomer
If he has a ~700hp big block, then braking with the stock tiny discs and/or drums intended for a 300/390hp car might be unsatisfactory.
