Welcome to the IHoP
I built the Galaxie's engine when I was 15 with no help, I did have a little labor help but from a very non-mechanical person. I just read a few books and manuals and ripped the motor out apart and slammed her back together. To get 400hp reliably you won't need to spend $1k on machining, but surely will if you shoot for 500. Really a bore/hone should be all you need. For $3k you should be able to do the whole build and get a set of better heads. I have no idea on the induction system on any GM, but I would imagine some minor changes could take care of the front end and your recent cats/exhaust should take care of the back. What power does your car have stock?

Tom, you lost me on this one. $3k for only 400hp on a Chevy small block??? I think you could build something as potent cheaper, or better yet a lot more so for the same.- Welcome to the IHoP
Get a license beeyotch, we'll go bang some rocks I go to a spot about 15 minutes from you guys off of prices fork road. Best small mouth fishing size wise around. Also shallow as a mofo Chit, I might come out for that.- building fiberglass pods

Not bad here either, but again not open for a few weeks. If any of you make it this way, I'd be glad to take you out. I am always looking for an excuse to fish. Actually as the sticker on my boat trailer says, "work is for people who don't fish."- Welcome to the IHoP
Not too late, almost though. Think I am going to go order the KDW2's in hope that they will last longer than the Yoko's (which I had on my 328i and loved but they just didn't last at all). I'd love to come for a ride though, hopefully sometime this year I will make it out your way!- Welcome to the IHoP

I used to have one of those cell phones that was permanently in your car. Go Cell One!- Welcome to the IHoP
It would match the amp I bought from Johnecon, hadn't really planned on spending anything yet but I am not the type who can pass up a good deal either.- Welcome to the IHoP
Should have gone to her house, finished and left.- Welcome to the IHoP

I don't need a detachable face, don't actually even have the vehicle yet but need a hu to go active with on a budget.- Welcome to the IHoP
Tom, what was I supposed to ask. Elias, what do you mean no top on the 8443 Shanna, thanks for the midget love.- Welcome to the IHoP

Dropped like a rock here today. Went from mid 70's to low 50's. Guess it is the same storm that dropped 2ft of snow on N. Dakota.- Welcome to the IHoP
I had one of those, some nice old lady on my paper route gave it to me for being "such a good kid", she had just bought a new Grand Am. I haven't seen the movie though so I won't be much help.- I Think My SQ will be improving

I need something and they are $175 ea which is pretty reasonable for 245/40/18's- Welcome to the IHoP
Well, I have only driven this car on worn out PS2's and my Hankook Icebears. If they are queiter then those I could give a rats azz and will get a set. They are only $15 more than the normal KDW. I'd like a little life and at least reasonably queit since I highway the car frequently. - Welcome to the IHoP
