look man... you need to start off with a DART block, send it to the machine shop and have all the work done, and get yourself a nice 363 rotating assembly. Throw some AFR 225s on it, and have FTI or CI cut you a cam and hook you up with a REAL nice valve train. Find yourself a big ol' intake, and cram a bunch of air into it fed from a huge turbo. make sure your fuel/ignition systems are up to the task though, and get a real strong tranny/rearend.




simple as that.....
