e21 motor swap project

Earl, you can restate your same comment all you want. But when most people say a GM/GENERAL MOTORS "big block V8" Everyone goes, GMC/CHEVY. The pontiac route is rarely gone over. So yeah, I'll accept I was wrong. But just because he's done motors for 10 years, doesn't mean he's always right.
An anyone from the SBC/BBC area could have made the same mistake I did. Because that's what most GM SBC's look like.

thats why I chose this motor. Super rare. Never been done, torque out of the ass, and the downward facing exhaust was Perfect for this car.

Mad props man, mad props! This thing is gonna be immaculate by the time you're done.

i had a slight freak out saturday morning and wasnt happy the direction i was taking.....so i dismantled the whole front end again and started over on the engine bay. In the 16 hours i put in this weekend i am 1000% happier with the results so far. it will be on the next level where i felt i was rushing and slacking before.

Very cool!
It is hard to pause, reevaluate, go backwards and keep moving forward. Props!
I'm definitely in for more info on that engine and your current thought process!

Thanks a lot man. Not much new with the engine at this point. 400 cubic inch big block with a decent build. Gonna run it that way for now. Really focusing on the chassis right now. I had one guy initially do the cage and frame and did a really shitty job. My friend chris Taylor took a look at it and has some wild ideas so I'm going forward with him. In the end I ultimately want it to be a very streetable race car. Depending how well the car reacts, next winter could see a more serious engine build and ALOT more power
