Hey guys just picked up a 1996 impala it runs but it has a cracked block. Oil and water are mixing where ever the crack is. I have another block to redo everything. No big deal. But my question is. What would be some options for a minimum of 400hp at the crank?
The only issue I have is I live in North Carolina, and the car is a 1996 which is OBD II. What could I get away with and still be able to pass the inspection. As far as I know as long as the check engine light isn't on. I can pass. I know people that will let me go with no catalytic converters. But you can't trick the computer when you hook it up to the cars ECU.
Bore/stroke?
heads?
cam?
torque converter?
rear end? (3.73 felt reasonable in my 1994 cobra might go that route again)
Intake?
exhaust?
Tuner?
wheels?(black 16inch bullet holes with 315s in the back)
I want to stay away from forced induction, and Nos
im aiming to make a car that I could daily drive if my daily driver died on me. So for now just something to drive on the weekends.
What do you guys think?
