I'm Awesome
Just an update...
I have made ZERO progress, lol. I have gotten distracted with the idea of doing a 12v Cummins swap.
The amount of torque you are able to make with low effort from that engine is part of what makes this swap appealing to me. Add to that the potential for twice the fuel economy, and I want to do it more.
I always have to do everything on a low budget though, so unless someone gives me the 12 valve, I don't see this actually becoming a reality. ...but you never know. Maybe I'll sell some things and end up with the money I need.
I'm a old school gear head at heart though, and still want to hear the sound of that 496 pullin' down the freeway. That has been great to hear the last couple of trips we've taken with the 1996, that old 454 sounds great with just the cats and no muffler...
Maybe somebody can talk me out of this Cummins thing...
