Seems to be a popular debate around here.We have a Malibu wagon my kid won Div 4 N/E in. He,along with his brother and myself would like nothing better than to run it in stk.
But I dont think the vortec head little 355 and glide combo will be legal.
So it go,s back to MONEY. I have been told the 305 combo is pretty friendly.
So about 5-7K for a decent legal motor not a killer. You know what kind of SBC bracket motor we can buy for this?? Actually a pretty nice one.
Then theres the correct carb thing.Then theres the metric trans thing about 2500.00? I really dont know.Then theres the expense of actually racing the car at the div and natl level.So lets just say we did pull it off O.K. we got ONE motor and ONE trans and converter.You think we would risk running the car in 2 classes at the brackets on other weekends. Just cant do it right now--- maybe someday
