what type of a v8 would yall recomend, whats good
hp wise for a grem with a stock frame, i dont want to tiwst the frame
and i also want somthing thats easy to put in, i understand that i will
have to get mounts, and a new crossmember, the mounts ill prolly be able to
make myself. but i dont know about the cross member, i also would pefer an
automatic for a few reasons, cant drive a stick yet, and so i wont have to cut
into the firewall and floorpan adding the clutch and whatnot. im thinking of
calling a few salvage yards around here and seeing what they price engines and
trannys at. thanks for all the info

Converting from 2bbl to 4bbl carb
Doc's right about the trans kick down lever...I ended up burning up 2
trannys(904's) before I got smart and went to a full manual valve bodie in
the trans. That took care of the kick down lever entirely. After the reverse
band went south was when I had enough and went to the 4 speed. I never ever
did get the trans kick down to work properly...say like going up a hill and
ya stood on the throttle...stoopid thing would kick itself all the way down
to first gear...not good to say the least!! Never had an issue with the
throttle cable but Doc is right about the headers also and cam...The motor
has to beable to breath so headers and a full flow exaust makes a big
difference. I also found out that ya have to have a good hot spark to burn
that extra fuel also, that helps. Expence is another factor also. You can
easily build a V-8 for all the goodies that you can put on an inline. BIG
BUCKS!! NO WAMMIES!! remember tha stoopid game show?? lol! Bill

You might also think about up
grading to a better cam if you are going
with a 4 bbl. Also you will
have to make sure you make the trans kick
down linkage work too or you
will ruin the tranny if you have an
automatic. You may also need a
longer throttle cable too. Personally I
would just go with a modern 2
bbl to replace that factory crap. My son's
first Javelin came with a 6
cyl engine with a 4 bbl and in my opinion it
was not worth the expense
without the headers and a cam. Also you may
have a clearance problem on
the headers if you have power steering. Just
my 2 cents.

Besides the intake manifold you
will have to buy the headers. Then of course
the carb. Like someone on
here said I think it was Doc, excuse me Doc if I am
wrong. By the time
you lay out the money for the manifold, the headers, the
carb. and I
am sure you will want to do some more to it to beef it up, you
might
just think about dropping a 304 in it. You are going yo lay out over a
grand on this. I think a stock 304 will give you just about as much if
not
more ump then the beefed up 6 banger. I thought about it for mine
but just
couldn't justify the cost to what you would get. Ok gang tell
me how wrong I
am.
