So here is my new project. It is a 1969 Fiber Fab Avenger GT 12 kit body. My plans for this are a pro street full tube chassis, narrowed 9" rear end with 5:13 gears, 29 x 16.5 rears and to power it, looking for a ls1/4l60E combo. Shooting for around the 2400# mark. Will take a little while, but hoping the end result is worth it in fun points
Let me know what you think!

My other option is to make a street rocket out of it. Either way it will be a full tube chassis. I have 3 rear ends, one for each combo. Issue with making this a street car is titling it. Originally it was a mid-rear engine, rear wheel drive. Drivetrain consisted of a corvair transaxle and a 427 ci big block. I am converting to a front engine, rear wheel drive. Rear suspension will consist of a adjustable 4 link with a watts link(Street) or a 4 link with an anti roll bar set up(race). Front suspension is a mustang 2 with tubular uppers and lowers. Koni coil overs will probably be at all 4 corners. Still on the fence about what to do....

Any suggestions/ideas?

Looks like Fun! Sounds like our Ultra Billet Crank is what you need for the 2400 mark!

does altering the drivetrain configuration make titling it harder?

id make it a streetbeast for sure, but as uncommon as it would be to see it on the street, a drag car looking like that would be even more radical.

Im with the callies guys, it should have a 1:1 p/w ratio, shoot for 2400 hp

Well i was just informed that a friend of a friend has a crate ls1 that he wants $1500 for. I think with a 370 stroker kit, some wicked port work and a 76mm turbo, should get it moving pretty well. Kinda leaning toward making a drag car out of it, then there is alot less i have to deal with(Title, blinkers, liscensing...). If it becomes a drag car, it will primarily see 1/8 mile runs at our new local track. I also have a 1966 C-10 truck that will eventually get an ls...when budget permits. That also has me leaning in the direction of drag car..which also means lighter
Still unsure but...It will be fun either way

As far as altering the drivetrain configuration, I would have to have it titled as what ever car I use the most of....I think the state reg is 35% of the vehicle is to be made with the donor car to be titled as....I read a few things, but didn't have alot time to read it through. So as far as I know, I now have a brand new crate ls1 now just to get a tranny...
