Looks like some nice work, good luck at Drag Week. That should make it in Hot Rod magazine for sure.

If you don't know what they come in, I'd doubt you would be interested in a build of this magnitude......Alot of money, and custom one off parts are required.....

Do you think 1000hp might be a little optimistic with those turbos?

Should be an allison trans.

Id love to go diesel in my WJ Grand Cherokee someday. So it weighs 60 lb more than a bbc. How much exactly does it weigh?

I think a BBC all iron is in the neighborhood of 775lbs.

An LS1 with all accessories, wiring harness, PCM weighs approx 460lbs
