with stick and that big of a blower,traction will be a big issue.
What's in the rear end?
What gears?Just a beefed up 8.8. Trying to figure out wheel/tire setup. shortened and mini tubbed accordingly. See how long it lasts me and go from there.

That is awesome. Love it.
How tight was it getting the 5.8 in there? Any other custom work besides the AC plumbing?
What gears?
I can imagine. Well worth it though. Looks killer!Extremely tight. Literally just makes it. They make "kits" for the 5.4 swaps which we tried basing it off of but was no help. Completely different animal. Every part ordered was customized k-member. Steering shaft. Oil filter/cooler re locate. 3 days worth tunnel work, drive shaft, fuel lines. List goes on.
I can imagine. Well worth it though. Looks killer!
Enjoy.
Yikes, bet you could away with a smaller gear. Awesome car none the less. I'm looking forward to updates.3.73 right now. It only has had a short test ride couple miles up road to a car show, no tuning yet either.

What are your plans for the fresh air system, any ideas on isolating the filter from the engine heat?
What are you going to do with the suspension to deal with all that weight on the front? Are you going to try to move any ballast to the rear? You might be able to move some coolant tanks to the trunk to get some weight over the rear wheels.
I can't imagine it's that much heavier than the old iron block 302. But then by the time you add a supercharger and the supporting cooling system for the intercooler, it might tilt back in the other direction. If you had to remove a valve cover, would you have to pull the engine, or is there room for that?
I like it!
