Thats easy... a little cylinder head work,headers,cam and anybody can do that with a normally aspirated 302 or 351 for less than $500. To really impress me,tell me how to do it with a 4.6 for less than that.

....yeah i'm not here to impress anyone. if i want to impress anyone, i usually just take a cruise downtown on a friday night. people wow at the beauty and power of my car there. here, my car isnt much.
like i said, GMACK24 invited me here which is mainly why i'm here.
If people go wow at the site of those wheels and tires I'll be impressed, same goes for the row of stickers in that wondow, blah, clutter. Nice paint tho. It looks like you have a 351 interceptor, but, I see the trim on the back bumper witch tells me its a 302 with a after market front bumper. Am I correct?

a. people LOVE my wheels. more so than the chrome ones. it gives it a much classier and cleaner look. i've gone to a couple friday-night shows and people wow it, spite the fact i'm not even done.
b. the 2 stickers on the rear doors is from CVN, which is the original CV/GM/TC site, which i've been a part of since 2000. these stickers are all bound for removal soon. i didnt say i was finished with this car. i just painted it in may. i'm still missing some more trim.
and if your referring to the windshield stickers, those are required CHICAGO CITY STICKERS. this city runs like a buiness.. they charge you $75.00 yearly to park, making the sticker valuable. certain areas (like mine) require an ADITTIONAL parking permit for $25.00. those stickers are a distraction. my car is always garaged-kept, but i'm still required to fork over $100 yearly to park my car on the street which may be only 10 times in a year. this is ontop of the fact that i gotta put a funky sticker on the windshield.
c- bumper is a re-chromed original that i got on e-bay for $1. the bumper strips doesnt indicate engine. the 302 was also avalable for the trim-less bumpers. and personally, i prefer the bumper trim. the front bumper now has the trim on. the pics were from early june so they are a tad outdated.
d- there is no such thing as a 351 "interceptor". the 351w that came in the fleet package (referred to as the "S" model) was only called "H O" or High Output. also i posted a nice large pic of the engine. the 351w for the panther platform never came with fatory fuel injection.
