It seems like a perfect setup with the schumacher kit he used. The kit
comes with a modified oil pan and the mounts for about $700. Even if you
did a slightly beond stock buildup on the 440, you could kill some R/T's
with some slicks, 4:10 gears in the differential, and a sneaky pete kit.
Remember the gen 1 & 2's have a good weight advantage than a gen3 r/t.
Its almost too perfect!
