"I'd say go stick, but it does take some practice getting shifts as quick as
possible. Now If I was going to do this! heheeh! definatly a aluminum 427 twin
turbo around 1000hp, backed by a lenco 5 spd planetary tranny (shifts faster
than an auto! ) move the motor back 6" or so from the l6 position for better
weight dist, this could be done with a glass' firewall, definatly switch susp over
to tubular components, a-arms 4 link rear, box frame where it needs it and
replace standard x-members with large diameter tubular ones, much stronger!
move all stuff possible to rear of truck, gas tank, battery etc. and heres the
killer, instead of running 2 rear slicks run one giant super wide tire driven from
the outside ends steamroller style! that should give you all the traction you
need! "


I didnt realize dusting off a Honda with a coffee can muffler would take that much effort.
