      350 with a 700r4 (i do have a 358, but i think i'll use the 350 instead). I'll probobly get a 2500-3000 stall for it. The motor is a std. bore 350 4bolt. I got a set of double hump heads, 1.6 roller rockers, steel crank, pistons i havn't desided on yet, nor the cam. Got a 327/350hp cam, but i want more thump then what that cam is going to put out. Edelbrock C3BX intake, Hedman fenderwell headers 1 3/4" tubes with 3" colletors (they will be ran open all the time :D), and a few other things.... I can't wait to get it in there.

            sounds like a nice build. this stupid shit in my auto shop class put an RV cam in his camerro. it only revs out to 4 grand lol. he keeps telling me that it will be my car. i take it your S-15 is going to be a drag truck?

              I'm pretty sure your car will give that Camaro a run for it's money and then some! The S15 will be mostly street driven, but i may take it to the track once and awhile.

                WTF are the specs on an "RV" cam?

                who the hell thought that one up?
                is it from a Winnebago?

                  RV cam is designed for low end torque.

                    i know! i just hate it when people with no idea what they are talking about say "they have an RV cam in there" durrrrrr

                    so what are the specs on that cam? 410 lift/ 280 duration on 108 lobe centers? (that is actually an engle W-110 cam for an Air cooled VW, i can't believe i still remember that!!)

                    "durr i don't know, it's an RV cam"

                    so it has "R" lift and "V" duration????? never mind

                              oh, I lied - I drove it today. Pushed it out of the garage, washed it, then drove it back into the garage. ;)

                                E30's the daily driver, hellz yes I drove it today. Love every minute of it too. Great stress relief to after a shitty day at work to stretch the legs on the freeway onramp.
