Believe me, I know about the dry money well....
sounds allot like what I am building

1967 coupe

408w

hawks racing all fogred stroker kit
forged probe dished pistons
1972 351w block .30 over
Vic Jr intake
Vic Jr heads 60cc 210cc
mech roller cam: COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Cam and Lifter Kits: CCA-K35-771-8 - summitracing.com

thats all I have so far, Still debating on my carb size I dont want to over do it but I have been seeing people run 750s all the way up to 950+ and still say they need more carb. I am still looking for some good cheap 1.6 full roller rockers, and I dont know what kind of oil water pump to go with, and still not break the bank. also headers aswell.

as for the car I went with Hedit's super ride II IFS and there sub frame conectors with chassie stiffiner kit and drive shaft safety loop, I also went with there 4 link for my 9in with a posi 3.5 gear rear.

I also have a c4 that I want to put a 2800 stall in (what brand did you end up going with).

plan on doing 3in and dumping it at my rear axel.

small world.

but I am trying to get 500hp trq from my engine aswell and if you look around allot more people are surpassing that mark with allot less. so with what you have I could say 3in exaughst and you are there or really close.
