Cross off that LT4 conversion. Not worth it from all that I have heard. Lloyd Elliot, a guy on this site, port and polishes heads depending on what you like. Do a search on him. For less than half the price of the lt4 conv. you can have lloyd do a job for ya and make quite a bit more power. Why don't you do a rebuild to a 383 or 396 while lloyd is doing the heads and cam. My 2 cents.

I'm no expert but i'll just say what I would do:

LE2, 383, Big cam, spray. (motor).

If A4, i'de get a good stall, build the trannyand 33.73's.

and I would work on the suspension to get that rubber sticking to the ground.
