E85, twin S472 T4 87mm turbine or even the 92's on your motor would make for some ear to ear grins that couldn't be peeled off with a flat blade shovel.

Heck you could do something really neat and try something out I have wanted to do and take either the Pro-Flo or Holley intake and mount the injectors high up in the runners and try and maximize the contact time the incoming air and fuel have with each other and run without an intercooler for packaging, weight and efficiency gains.

I'm with Kurt too, sounds like another race car to me!

I think Josh is trying to sell my old 4L80E right now. It has some really good parts that should make it good for at least 1000rwhp. Has a Jake transbrake and a FTI 10" 3800 stall.

Now that would make it a street car for sure

Nice project! If you're looking for body stuff and willing to drive, there's a ton of third gens in a junk yard called Klinger's in Pine Grove, PA. Also some carcasses that come and go at E-Z Pull in New Ringgold, PA.

Can't wait to see progress pics!

I've owned 11 of these cars. Let me know if you have any questions going together. I may be able to help. Don't have a lot of parts left laying around though. Should be a cool build.

What brand is the rear suspension? I'm guessing BMR because it's black

Edit: nvm just saw it's a madman arm, what are the LCA's and PHB?
