I have been reading up on classes and confused on where would be a good place to start. Theres is another site that offer a Don Hardy v8 conversion kit for 500 dollars. It comes with headers and all hardware to mount ,trans cross member ,and some other stuff ,but no engine mounts. They also sell a kit the beef up you front brakes by using ball joint spacers (65 dollars ) that will let you use s-10 spindles, rotors ,etc , they claim certain years of master cylinders bolt on also. 600 horses seems to be affordable for me and I am expecting a 8-10-12 point cage. I would rather put in a 12 point for max strength and safety and go from there but dont want it to be overkill. Most classes though that I have been looking for call rear stock suspension only, the top class that allows for any rear suspenion is pretty much dominated by 50 thousand dollar power plants . So I dont know what to do about the rear??? This is not a 100 thousand dollar racing project just some thing to get the family out on the track on some weekends. Any advice is appreciated.
