I dont know what kind of budget you are on, but if you are like me, champagne tastes on a beer budget, check the latest and greatest summit catalog. They have crate engines that offer mild to wild. The one that caught my eye was a GM crate sbc, 236hp, 3 yr. warranty for $1500.00. Know I know 236 hp doesnt sound like much but u have to think power to weight ratio. Also good luck on shoehorning that v8 in there.
