Upon further review, it probably would be less expensive in the long run to go with the 8.8 and be done with it. It still would fit in the budget.

Ok, I see this 1982 mustang combo and am interested to make it a dime rocket. I have car in mind just a short drive away.. I was told before purchasing check all areas on the uni-body where Anything bolts onto it...This car is 2700lbs..... very light in my opinion.

The car classification guide doesn't specifiy auto/manual or I don't see it anywhere...oh...the engine blueprint section...got it!

Will NHRA bother you if you use a five speed manual only making four shift down the track? I'd like to daily drive this car, I beleive that is a distiguised trait often overlooked but, appreciated by the distinguised...

I'll post pics and video of the entire step by step if I do indeed spend less than $5000.

I really would enjoy this fiscally sound project and have others buy into it aswell.. My chevelle is not going to be done sooner and for less money, that's a fact!

Thanks for the thread!
