I think it sounds badass... just make sure to do something just as crazy with the axles... like Mogs or Rockwells! ;D

Lets see, my 85' S-10 with a modified LT1 pushing around 430 to 450 HP with 33x12.50' s and 4:10 gears would wheely. particularly with the 3k rpm stall.  around 3-4 ft longer wheel base.   Yeah he'll do a back flip.

My neighbor builds drag cars and is very interested in putting a SBC in a Tracker. He says it will fit in the stock engine bay without too much work but the balance will be way off. He said he'd move the firewall back about a foot and figures it would be about right but with the short wheelbase it'd still be a hairy ride...
