You'll need a full forged bottom end and some bad to the bone heads. but like i've said before, make your goal, and stick with it. keep your budget in mind, most of us on the boards cant afford a build like this. this will be a very technical and full build, if you're a noob to building cars, you will be in over your head. no disrespect, but this build will kick your a*s. its not going to be a h/c/i swap, we're talking massive amounts of measurments and if you're tolarances are off just a kitty hair, your engine will be crossing the river styx. know what you are getting into. the body will be the ONLY thing thats not going to need to be changed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
