Now that's what I call bang for the buck!! Just don't forget to beef up the rear and other stuff.

yea..I think steve was over 3500 race weight when he went 11s. I know I would give my left nut for your race weight. My time below were done at 3503

I had an 82 that I was going to perform the swap to, but I moved from North Carolina to Michigan and had to get rid of it. With the price of these cars between $100-$200 with a bad engine, such a swap would be a good project.
