You know what would probably be even easier and more cost-effect? Do a blow-through style carb on a SBC in a Fox.

In fact read this thread awsome info:

The TurobMustangs list of blow-through carb numbers, very impressive:

What the hell Ben, you got a turbo kit for your car?? What kit and what does it consist of (ie turbo size,wastegate,piping etc..) Now you want to sell it?? Already?? Your crazy that would be awesome with a turbo and the 331. Hell you could even keep the TKO in there. I've seen plenty of cars holding in the 700rwtq range with the same tranny setup.

Because its a detonation and split-block nightmare even with a stock block, let alone a 10.8:1 331. Its a DIY kit, with a T67 .81 AR Greddy Type R that I picked up for cheap for now.

Yeah block would DEFINATLEY be the weak point in that equation. Hell just throw a dart block in the mix with cometics and he'd be good to go!!!
