5.0 conversion-why?? 200 whatever

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Gallagher on  Fri Aug 10 05:53 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Just to prove that it can be done? So that people will be shocked and amazed when you pop the hood on your old faded 240?

"More power." Well, I guess if you take your car to the track. But for a vehicle that is driven on a daily basis, the ol' b230 has more than enough power. I have no problem keeping up on the highway, and she will cruise at 85+mph in comfort all day long if I let her. How much faster does one need to go?

And what good does 250-300 horsepower do if the speed limit is still 65??
