about $5-7k and a lot of patience. it will require complete top end and a huge cam to do it on a stock 350 block. it will take top end and decent size cam to do it on a 383. the 383 will be easier to drive on the street than a cammed out 350. if you have patience and do a lot of shopping for deals and stuff on this forum and other forums and on ebay, you can get it done for a lot less than what i quoted you. i have been building mines for over 2 years little by little and when i finally get it back together this week, i am expecting a mid to low 12 pass on drag radials.ok i got a 96 ss of my uncle, needs new headlights and a few other things, it's working fine right now so im happy,
what will it take to get sub 12 on 1/4 mile ? without nitrous.
thanks

As stated above, A.I. or LE, for a head/cam combo.
$4k aint gonna get you a 12 sec b-body. you might be able to get a 12 sec f-body from one of the f-body threads but its gonna be almost impossible to get 12 secs with $4k out of a 4k pound car unless it was already running close to 12s to begin with which ours arent even close. 13s with $4k, yeah thats doable...but 12s? Prove us wrong buddy!thanks
well i have about 4k saved up was planing to buy a car when my uncle gave me his 96 caprice ss because he just got an 08 caprice ltz,

u have the best uncle in the world![]()
I wouldn't get too excited. Unless you have WX8 on the SPID sticker, you don't have a CapriceSS. Those dash badges were readily available for years and lots of people put them on their 9c1's and B4U's. There are guys here who probably still have some laying around.is that an engine cover or something? but i think mine is a caprice ss too. mine has a caprice ss badge by the radio and ive always wondered because i thought they were only overseas. idk but im pretty sure the badge is valuable.
