Car engines and parts?
Im getting into engines and cars. My dad sells used cars and has been for 20 years so he know everything there is to know just about anything. I just turned 15 and this summer we will probably start drag racing. I hope we get a 70 chevelle or a 69 camaro. We would keep it street legal but my main question is, What are the main components in an engine? I know there is the cam, headers, carb, ect. but what are the most obvious pieces to engines? Mostly small block (even though the 70 chevelle has a 454). And If i start drag racing, how would I make a normal small block sound good and what do I need to make it go fast (12's or 11's on the 1/4)? What is a good brand for the parts I need? Thanks everybody!
If you want the easy to do 11's or low 12's get a big block, it's easier and cheaper to do than a small block......
