put some gears outback and maby get a new upper and lower manifold. gears are like $200 and the tf manifold is $500 and the eddy is $600. besides alum heads. and stroking and a cam thats ur best low cost solution to a door stop problem
Everyone lately has been forgetting to factor installation into gear price quotes... Add $300ish to that

You're going to get beat. Brothers firehawk was running 13.90's bone stock down to the tires. Yeha, it was a 6spd, but even if he runs 1/2 slower, it's still faster than what you'll run stock.. mid to low 15's if you're lucky.

if it's not the lt1 in a 96 fireturd then consider it a loss. a conventional 350 probably had some work done to it before it was put in the car in order to make the swap worthwhile.

LT1's are fairly stout motors when coupled with a 5 or 6spd. The auto slows em way down though, and unless its a Firehawk or something along those lines the suspension is super soft, which IMO sux ***.
But stock for stock, he'll take ya.
