Having been in this situation a few times in the past building a different automaker's cars, I can say Hardy's right on the button w/this post. Me personally when I yank my motor I'll be putting it back together a little hotter than stock, with a good HCI combo, the supporting mods and converted to maf with (hopefully) an a9l or a9m computer. I figure I should see somewhere in the 300+rwhp, and about 350rwtq. A hundred shot or possibly even a 150 shot (for the track) is all my car should need. This should cost me around 3 grand with some judicious shopping and doing the installs myself. I am however probably going to have the short block built by a professional. So make it 4 grand total invested in the engine, with about a grand or so in the aod. I'll be sending ole' Hardy a pm about the possibility of maybe picking up one of his "Budget Aluminum Driveshafts" if I can talk him into it. Re-gearing the rear and upgrading to 5 lug + rear disks. It's a mouth full to be sure, and I've sourced a lot of parts already. But I only want to be doing this one time on this car, so I'll be waiting untill I've found the best possible pricing on the parts (new or used) I want, and once I have it all gathered up (I'm a parts hoarder) its take the car down time. All in all I figure 6 grand or so in the car and then its body and interior time. I learned along time ago to be realistic when figuring a parts budget and then add 15% for unplanned extras that pop-up.
