What to do . . . what to do . . . you buy the crate 292 then you gotta buy the Stovebolt dual exhaust, the clifford intake, dress up the head with bigger valves, lumpier cam . . . by the time you are done with a new ignition system and all the right toys to make 250-300 HP you are in it for around $4000 from my point of view. Then your thinking "IcouldahadaV8" (Mavis is going to kill me) [img]

If you bought a crate (292 again) and really wanted to do it right, wouldn't you have to tear it down and balance it and upgrade head / induction components to get it to run like a killer 6 anyway? Is this one of those things where you just put your fingers in your ears and say NANANANANANANA!!!!! when a bunch of people start telling you how much it is going to cost? The kids really should pay for there own college anyways huh? Thats what my folks said about me . . . and look where I am now, can't figure out if I should really do up an old 6 banger . . . what was this thread about anyway? How many days till I have to make up my mind? I hate making decisions like this. V8's look dumb in old trucks don't they?
