I wouldn't mind having an early 3rd-gen Firebird with a 151 in it. Build it and turbo-charge it.bill1978v8 wrote:There is a Camaro 151 for sale near me. I was thinking about picking it up and find an H-body to put it in.
Cool!bill1978v8 wrote:I've owned a few 151's and 140's:
76 Astre 151 non crossflow
79 Monza 151 crossflow
80 Monza 151 crossflow
87 Celebrity 151 TBI
76 Vega Wagon 2.3/auto
77 Vega Built 2.3/4 speed
I always wanted to put a 151 TBI engine in a Vega and run a rear mount turbo for 200-225 hp. I'd run a T5 non world class (for the 2.95 1st gear)and a set of 3.08 gears.
I am assuming those were wet liners with that overbore.bill1978v8 wrote:The fastest one I had was a Vega 2.3 with iron liners bored over .125" and a ported head with bigger valves, 390 cfm four barrel, and a header into 2.25" exhaust. I beat a T-bird turbo coupe with that combo. Unfortunatley I did not build it and I sold it before I knew any better.
Good luck
