Very nice, Dirty Mike. As stated above, how many Supra's do you see that are LT1 swapped.
I like it and good run! I can also appreciate how financially conscious you were on this car. Nice job, man.

That's right. Swapping in a motor that was nearly next to nothing in cost is more than understandable.

I have seen some fast Cc306 stock shortblock F bombs. The tune will be the hard part.

Maybe wishful thinking but I'm hoping for 350+whp after a good tune.

Unique swap to say the least.

Car will make around 360 whp with supporting mods and tune with a CC306 camshaft thru a manual transmission.

this, I loved the way my cc306 sounded. That powerband was intoxicating as well. My LS setup feels bland compared to it. Put some heads on it or at least port the stock heads. That’s the only thing really holding back an LT1.

My heads are currently going through a minor PnP job. Hopefully I'll be able to take a little bit more advantage of the cam.

The 4.3 only came in the caprice. The roamaster and Fleetwood all had the 5.7 lt1 94-96.

What's the story with the shrunken skull head? Is that your shifter **** or something?

Lol, just something that sits on the workbench. My dad gave it to me probably 15-20yrs ago.

All the Lt1 hate is hilarious....

Do what you want, if you don't like it after a while change it. If it isn't gast enough move on to an Ls platform.
I personally would not use that cam it is a good grind but thete are much newer grinds that provide a better power curve.
Torkhead has the conversion to convert to the Ls pcm which makes an Lt1 wake up more.

I would personally talk to Lloyd Elliot about a custom cam

Don't knock the B body motor. The cam was designed for a lot of low end grunt to get it's big *** moving. It would be fun in a lightweight car.
