Plans I had for mine

Did not get into engine internals, but planned

Port/polish heads and 3 angle valve job  
Forged pistons, connecting rods  
Massive cam, supporting roller rockers and springs  
Built Billet Crankshaft  
Huge Headstuds  
And stroked to 383.  
Figured about 10k there to be safe

4l80E truck tranny. Bout 700, another 400 to have it installed

Custom driveshaft and Dana 60 rear end and supporting axles.

CCN SP500 wheels

Either a Large turbo such as Turbo LS1SS, A Garrett 67 was looking right, and about 22 PSI  
Or a Procharger F1C at 22 PSI

According to what other people have done with similar setups It was about 900-1100 wheel horse with the right tune.

I did not want to tub mine. I found you can run up to 13.5 inch wide tires int he back without rub. Gotta shorten the axles a bit.

When I had priced it all out.

Parts alone was about 20-25k

Labor since I cant do it myself, was another 10 respectively.

total estimated cost 35k
