Whoa, sexy.

I'm still for an LSx and a set of big hairdryers though.

It was a hard decision not to go that route. My biggest concern was about adding weight to the front end (turbos, heavy manifolds, intercooler, piping, etc.). Right now I'm at 56/44 split to the front. Any more weight that shifts the balance to a heavier front end would only make it harder to hook up. I've seen several LS swaps into muscle cars and they just look out of place so I decided to stay BBC. Nothing sounds like big cubes with a big cam.

But, if I ever get the itch, there's enough nice parts in this one that dropping the compression ratio and a cam change could allow for some serious powa!

Imagine a 582 on boost!!

Hook at the line hard enough and you'll get all the weight on the rear tires.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'll post vids as they become available.

That must happen first,.......

4-link set-ups like a 55/45 split at minimum, so it's already a little nose heavy. Hoping those aluminum heads pull a little off the front weight, normally they would knock off about 70lbs, but that Dart block throws some back in the mix.
