<sigh>... You Michigan folks get ALL the cool rides. :-) I'd love
to see what the 1/4 mile times are on that thing.
I'd be tempted to try that if it wasn't such a pain in the butt. Sounds
like I'd have to get custom mounts, replace the tranny, my entire exhaust
system would be worthless, I'd probably go through a rearend a week...
For now, I think I'll stick to my "bolt in 360" plan. If I had a second
Dak though... :-) That would make one heckuva street/strip vehicle;
shortbed Dak with a bottle fed GTS motor? I bet you could pull 800hp out
of that thing, easy. You'd have to tub the Dak out just to get any
traction though! :-) What does a Viper engine cost, anyway?
