OK if you only drive in a straight line. Not good for going around corners.

a guy from wauchope nsw (near port macquarie) has/had a 302 with a 6/71 blower on it in a GE Sigma.
supposedly 500hp....

the thing used to launch like vin diesels car in the fast and the furious lol
would lift the front end a foot and smoke up the rear at the same time. :o

he got done for speeding in it and i dont know what happened to him,
havent seen him for a while or the car.

SO YES IT CAN BE DONE.... :thumpsup:

and like karl said :stupid: DO EEEETT!

hehe narr if i was to do it ill be doing a windsor hehe and ive just been thinking since u watch pretty much all the super sedan semis and finals and they never have a 4 or 6 or turbo something in there its always N/A v8. :\

so instead of a v6 turbo just use a v8 windsor?

does anyone no how high they rev and whats better behind them powerglide or c4?

V6 would be cheaper .There was one in the paper here on the weekend for $350!!, with all you need to run it.
Do you want old school or embrace technology???
I dont know what you'd do about the gearbox though.Just have a custom housing made I suppose

i know a guy that has a v6 commodore running 11s and it cost him about 16k.

And u can buy kits for 347 windsors for about 4k so seems cheaper with the windsor.

ive been offered a 351 Cleveland for very cheap, its complete from filter to sump to headers ;) now i no im not going to be using much of it but is this a good start will this fit? just there is a heap load of parts for a 351 clev and nearly all ford super sedan cars out at willowbank run either a 347w or a 383 clev. and they see the 347 as a 'learner engine' then step up.

a sigma engine bay is a fair bit wider than a falcon bay
a clevo is 1" wider than a 302 and about 1/2" longer/higher

it will fit width/height wise with ease length might be a problem

25.5" wide

29.25" long

29" high
