    Oh, it's possible alright, all you need is a couple of stacks of hundred dollar bills.

    And your talking about the engine shop down the road or Jon Kasse. But the kiss rule don't apply to a 351W that has to be 700 horse. and for thoughts and oppinions, ither start with a bigger motor, contact a reputable engine builder that has built this caliber motor (IE: Jon Kasse is well known in drag racing ) or lower your required HP number, which is most practicle. If this is suppose to be a drag car, than it might be a diffrent story but for a street car, it is impractacle as the motor itself wouldn't be very streetable. If you wouldn't mind a full cage just so you don't twist the car. a trans built to take it, tubbed, narrowed 9", probably 4 link suspension, than go for it.
    You don't know what you've got til it's gone
