I swear you said you sold the Mega motor. That is one good motor and you can make great things happen with it .

That's what I thought too. As I understood it he was keeping the VXL motor to run on an MM. Good to see that isn't the case. In my mind is was like trading a lexus in for a cavalier.

. For me it would be like trading a Jaguar for a Pinto . Just joking. Good thing he is keeping it.

Awww, come on! The VXL can't be THAT bad! Maybe more like trading in a Lexus for a Toyota. All the Cavaliers ('98-'01 era) I've worked on at the stereo shop were absolute crap! If a Lexus is a Mega motor, then a proper comparison to a Cavalier would be a TP tube (empty).

ROFL. BrianG, you always seem to find a way to crack me up!

Sorry guys, I will work harder on making better comparisons next time.

lol, not like linc, but I try...

Linc is in a class all his own, and it scares me sometimes!

Glad a made the right choice. I just order the MM and a few other odds and ends this morning so it should be here within the week. As for the cars thing I drive my 72 Dodge Demon and for me there is nothing that comes close........except when I'm at the gas station.

Demon, getting hard to find. Good choise for a ride, guessing it's 318 v-8? Or are you one of the few with the 360? The new (old style) hemi's have not dropped in price since I was 16 and I'm 32 now, still ~$8,800 complete...

I ran a 67' chevelle SS 396 (changed it out for a 454 that was making 580hp and 616ft lbs torque) I had it running 10:80@138mph in the quarter. That was when they wanter fire supression, 5 point cage, racing hrness, ect. Couldn't afford the gear so I quit racing. Wish I would have kept the car, but I really wanted a 64 chevelle anyway.

10.80's holy crap that's fast. Mine is a daily driver so its not that fast. My best is 12.507@112.5 with sickening 2.1 60ft.(street tires) I have the power to get into the 11's but don't want to try slicks just yet. It was an original /6 car but I built a 340 with race aliumiun heads that I ported and flowed.(287cfm@ a low .525) Ross pistons manley rods forged crank ect.... I constantly swap pigs from 4.10 for racing to 2.76 so I can drive it without spinning the motor to the moon on the interstate.

If you think I am scary, you should get a look at lutach in a dress...

The old jokes are the best...

Swapping pigs?!?!?!?! Sounds like something we used to do in high school with the less popular girls!

Those are good times with street tires, the demon is not too heavy, and the worked over small block sounds good too. Gotta have manley rods, the girley rods are no good!

[speed demon]

I have an 8 3/4 rearend so I have two pigs(third members, chunk, pumpkin) or whatever you want to call it. Best time is 45 mins to swap it out.

The car in the back was my old dart. Rest in peace gold nugget. LOL

Nice and clean SD, that 340 must be pushing the car around very well indeed. I like that you went with the holley demon for a carb :) Aluminum radiator propably keep it plenty cool but I'd toss that fan (They never pull air like they sound they are) get a pair of high flow 12" electrics and mount them diagonally. You'll pick up a few HP and not have the three little scars on your elbow like me hehehe.

I absolutley loved my chevelle when it had the 2.98:1 freeway fliers in the 12 bolt. I swapped up to 4.11's with a spool but was never happy about the RPM's at freeway speed (spent alot of gallons at 6,000 rpm going from cali to vegas). Twisted alot of driveshafts (even a $380 race shaft that was supposed to be good to 1200hp) before I realized the bushings in the trailing arms (boxed old school) were junk letting the rear end rotate up and bind the joints... oh whell live and learn.

I had a mercury 454 marine block (thicker cylinder walls you could bore to .110 over) rectangle port iron heads, 10.25:1 pistons and a eagle forged crank (454). Single plain holley manifold and an 850cfm double pumper, stock rods (yup) and super comp headers running dual 3" out in front of the rear tires.

Never broke 11:50 with the 295/70r15's but then I borrowed a set of 10" slicks and man did it fly!

Best money I spent on that car was the trailing arm bushings, hochkis springs (stock hieght), and 1 1/2" swaybars front and rear. The car never got more paint than primer black :( stripped every part and all the undercoating to cut weight (~2650 lbs w/o gas)
She was LOUD and rattled to no end, I loved that car. Didn't even have a radio.

No power brakes? you still running drums in front? disc's were my first upgrade after I hopped a curb and almost hit a lady waiting to cross the street at a red light.
