This time, I'd junk the TH-400 instead of just upgrading the crap out of it. I'd also lose the 4bbl and toss in a injection/Whipple supercharger set up. Oughta yeild around an even 1000HP at the crank. That, and I wonder if the guys at Headers By Ed up in MN remember how they plumbed my last one. Needed to reroute the drivers side bank of downtubes to clear the stearing box.
Whoa! What a car!
Want me to put in a good word for you with the Finance Control Queen? Er...never mind...you probably have a better way of making that happen than I do...*wink*
