Notorious is correct in his estimates of costs on supercharging, and turbocharging is even higher. Done right you will have a killer car! I also think a 3.07 rear is the way to go with the D36. That's what I did. I figure if I ever break it I can go to a solid rear setup with a 3.54, but with the D36 it should live alot longer with a 3.07. I bought a used 3.07 carrier (or chunk) for like $300, so we just unbolted my old one and bolted the used one in. It works fine. The nice thing about big cubes is that you can go to a bigger cam to make more power and the big cubes retain much more low end torque and streetability than the same cam in a smaller (350 or 355) engine. When I rebuild my bottom end I'm going 383. |
