I'm not saying there isnt a better way to do this because of course there is. just my personal goal.. and I respect all of you for voicing your opinion to me. Helps me understand and learn of more combos and set ups that will work perfectly well for another swap on another vehicle like I said about the C5 Z06 LT1 twin turbo that would be ****** awesome.

Don't take my posts as beating you up. I'm just saying there's a better way to build the car. And under no circumstances would I spend $40k on an F-body. You will not come close to getting that money back out of it when you decide to unload it. I think for $20k (which you still won't come close to getting out of the car - but you'd be out less overall money), you could probably get a faster, more well-balanced car.

I don't plan on getting rid of it. I'll never sell any of my builds they're one off custom builds.... I'm helping a friend of mine build his 1969 Camaro base 307 into a LS3 4L80E monster for daily driving...everything else is all original from paint to interior
not even 125k miles on it yet.
