I'm still planning mine.. VS 383ci stroker, ported heads, nice big cam, H beam rods, Forgies, prob run banana manifold ported until I have enough saved for a powerflow (motec) twin throttle body manifold, trying to fit twin GT40's under the hood, gonna be hard.. if it doesn't fit, will prob run a single.. All straight gas.. Either T350, T400 or T56 trans... and a new computer and CDi ignition.
