Because it's on the fat side(3350) now with the new motor, the chassis will be a 25.3. It's too heavy for a 25.2 cert. 6's are doubtful. I'm planning on running the true 10.5 class which requires stock rear suspension. In my case I never seen a leaf sprung car or truck for that matter go 6's. Low 7's would be more realistic. I'm suprised no one's has inquired about the motor make or size...

I know what it is, hence my reference to Matt Scranton who was the 1st import to break 200mph back in 2002 and caused NHRA to ban V8s. However, I am sure most here do not know, so how about laying out the details? I am sure many might be surprised.

The valve cover bolt pattern is LS1 correct?

It's not a old school valve cover pattern.. that's why I guessed a toyota engine.

What's the CID?

Leaf spring car in the 6's/7's whew.. and yikes. ;)

some slick ideas , when you look harder!

motor plate, also holds the turbos,
ign and controls are easily accessed in area where cool air will help them live.
turbos inlets convienently fit in headlite bezels.
water filler/ bleed right up front, eazy to ck, or service.
hyd roller for lo maint.
NO ALT ????? no drag from charging.
DASH ? wait and see............. gotta save some surprises!

well thought out and executed, so subtle, yet it reeks of power.
yea, I'm drooling!

Hope you didn't mind Scott
