              Axles and pinion yoke should be there Tuesday. I also have decided to go a different route with the engine. After pricing out everything, intake to oil pan, it will cost me around $20k for the power level I want to be at w/ an LS bsaed motor. We also priced out a 632 BBC build and it will be cheaper to build the BBC and I'll also have plenty of room to grow in the power dept. I have a friend who already has a 632 in his car and I know what it cost him. So I guess I need to change my screen name!! Lol

                I was really looking forward to seeing the big inch ls tt in there. Still be cool, we know it works well for Randy.

                    Yeah I was too but Randy and Adam both make very good arguments and it's hard to not go that way when it's less money.

                    SBF will probably cost more than the LS to build. I am wanting to be in the 1200-1300 rwhp range. That is what it takes to compete anymore. With the BBC it'll be capable of that at very low boost levels and it will live for a long time like that. Plus if I decide to go x275 racing it'll be ready.

                      keep in mind x275 does not allow a turbo big block setup.. Also to compete in x275, it will take 1500+ hp..

                            I'm kinda on the fence about it. Anyone can make a BBC fast but it takes a little more to get the small block to perform as good. At the end of the day i just want to be first accross the finish line and do it as cheap as possible!
