[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16057097, member: 46336"] The main issue with a SBF, especially an aging one, is the lack of RPM they can handle. People talk about splitting blocks due to big power. 9/10 times it's spining passed 5800rpm's which is the nail in the coffin. Problem is, you can't really make power with a low cube motor N/A without spinning it hard. They tend to not like it So in the SBF's case, it really necessitates a better block. That's an initial 2-3k dollar investment. Cylinder heads of the avian variety are 2k. Intakes are plentiful. Custom cam 400. Valvetrain, internals, and other bits. 10k to build a good SBF. Makes a coyote swap seem like a drop in the bucket. But regardless, I wouldn't intentionally spend 10k on my car like that. If I could budget build this coyote, I can do my own wiring, tuning, and other bits. The SBF really doesn't have much choice outside of an aftermarket block, or riding on borrowed time. [/QUOTE]
