I've been coming back to this thread regularly to read replies, contemplating it, obviously one would think the vast majority of these cars are not 9 sec cars. I wonder how many are just cruisers that perhaps the biggest goal is to get into the 12's maximum, well, regardless of that, that is my goal with most of the concentration on reliability.
Maybe there is a vendor out there that offers a solid V6 crate engine for these cars where one doesn't have to worry about lifter bores, timing chains, oil pick up and tolerances etc. etc.? I'm not there yet after I rule out the easier stuff...actually I think its probably sensors that cause a lot of headaches. I've been thru a few standard small block builds and I don't mind doing what the "average" car guys do but I don't fancy digging into an engine everytime I take it out.
