Aftermarket G body stuff?

The engine bay looks like it can hold a lot of motor. But can the stock transmission/drivetrain handle a 350?

Re: Commonly Asked Performance Questions!!

Pretty good write up I must say. I would like some more info on older generation engines, as I drive an '86 carb'd 3800 that desperately needs power. What are my options?

Re: 1986 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE TACH?

I too would be interested in a tach. The clock is cool retro but I'd rather see what my engine is turning at.
