I have done this math... and you are all debating the ROI.
Hot rodding, in general (meaning, is your name Chip Foose), is a bad ROI. Anything you buy is going to depreciate.
So, think about this:
You buy a 2001 Z06. Get it for $20k, put another $10 into the motor, you have $30k invested. 5 years from now, you would be lucky to have it worth $15k, tops. Remember, modified cars do not always sell for what they cost to build. That means that over the next 5 years, you will lose $15k.
Now, how long have you owned the 92?
If you take it, put the motor into it, you have actually HELPED it's value a little. The 92 is now worth about $6k, tops, so the depreciation has already been hit.
I would not do a 396, but a 383 will be a rocking good idea. I don't like the extra long stroke. A mild 383 with a super charger would be killer stout and be a lot nicer to drive. I 383 SC would be more expensive, yes, but the end result would be awesome.
Is your 92 a manual or automatic?
yeah I was missing you guys and I am saving my project money, because I am about ready to do this..... I have a 93 and its a automatic, I've had it for 8 yrs.... I could live with a 383 even supercharged as long as I can find a setup that is low maintenance.... Will I need to find someone to build the engine or does anyone know who sells something like that?
