yeah, minimal mods = 500+lbs of torque
if you need any pointers on it, call Jim Lehart at centralvirginiamachine.com really cool guy, he's the man for pontiac's and will give you plenty of advice, even if you don't purchase anything from him... he's building my 461

I'm going to do the work on the heads to clean them up and I'll do most of the putting together.

Should be a torque monster when it's done, am definitely going to put in frame extensions to stiffen the body up as well as some extra bulk in the cross members.

It will have a full Ridetech set-up plus some other body mods that I'm planning. Going with 18 / 19 wheels on it too and minitubs. Will be one unique bird!
