Thanks guys! I'm really excited!! Something I have been waiting a lifetime to do. It was 11.5k when I first saw it when I talked to Guy he had dropped it to 9.5k less WC engine with a lt1 core and an extra set of alum lt1 heads. He has been really cool and applied 500 towards shipping. The WC engine's cam bearings were fried. He has another WC car that he is concentrating on now. Now I need to figure out an engine combo. May try to prep it for AI specs for now i have a learning curve ahead of me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

trust me it has crossed my mind to build something really wild (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
$$$ and reliabilty are my big concerns for now. Initial plans are to rebuild the bottom end with a balanced rotating assembbly like a Scat 9000 crank 4340 rods and SRP flattops. Lloyd Elliot Lt-1 heads and a custom 847'ish cam and supporting periphrials.

Well, it doesn't have to be streetable and with something like this C16 is always an option. If you wanted to you could make insane power with a 355 and a T-Trim Vortech. BUT... like I said, I would do the biggest frikken NA conventional smallblock that I could get in there. You could in theory do a 454 smalblock if memory serves me correctly. I just wet myself.

Thanks Tom. Let me know when you get the car so I can come over and check it out. Maybe I can sit in the seat and make engine noises? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Is the car still FI or is it carb'ed ?
