WOW,how in the world could a 396 SS motor cost $40,000.00?

As Burt Reynolds said in Smokey and the Bandit, speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

I can show you where the money goes.

You pay for a lot more than parts and labor, you pay for what people spent years learning.

Question Re: 396 super stock engine developtment

Looking at this from the point of:
You have a pretty good old stocker motor laying around. Put a roller and a good manifold on it. Engine should make enough power to create an entry level SS car. I'm talking about 2 to 3 tenths under, and there are not a whole bunch of cars in those classes, SS/EA, and SS/FA.

Surely not the first to question, but you really think you know more than the next guy ?

Hi Alan,

I remember looking at Bo Laws spoiler (A lot of people did) back in the early 70's with the Speed costs money quote and truer words where never spoken...................

Bob

PS:
Maybe it was the late 60's???????????

PSS:
I also think that Alan knows a lot more than a lot of people........

Wow 3815 lbs! The car with Yves in it was just less than 3400lbs in SS IA, I don't think you could find a place for an extra 400 lbs!
