You will be able to get that V6 screaming safely at 5500 rpms but of course those hollow stem sodium filled exhaust valves need to be replaced with solid stem valves. I did at one time have the part numbers for the Cat valves but have not had any luck finding them so a custom set of Manley stainless steel valves would be best. For ignition I'm really thinking about a 3 coil pack from the Buick V6, Thunder V12 has a 6 pack setup for the 702 V12, I'm sure they can figure one out for the V6. As far as induction I'm thinking more of a belt driven roots type blower but it's up to you if you want twin turbo's.  |
Ok, I keep forgetting about the custom pistons. Man I'd love to find that build one day.
Super charger would be really neat. I like having a hood though. haha But that would be something you never see everyday! And that 478 would eat just about any stinking big block chevy alive!
Even a 6 coil pack and a bigger carb on a stock engine outta do something. Maybe 600 to 750 cfm.
