[QUOTE="Luillo69, post: 16679205, member: 197835"] I am just making this build thread to obtain feedback as I go. It looks like the car enthusiasm is dying somehow so I have another site where I do the same. My plans are slow but steady trying to build the car one section at a time but currently I am very troubled with the desires of slapping a KB 4.2L in my stock engine so I figure if that the rout I will take to at least ensure the best outcome by upgrading the cooling and fuel in the car and not revving it much. For now I will continue upgrading the car in this order; rear end, transmission, suspension, fuel system, engine, and finally the blower. Please let me know what you all think of doing a full return system with high octane (C16 or E85 if available) and installing the 4.2L. I am not planning to rev the car pass 6200rpm or boost anymore of what the lowest it can be which I believe is 19-20psi. I have a tentative build list below for reference that I hope to be able to complete by the end of 2023. Goal > To build the best/lightest 1/8-1/4 mile drag Shelby with the best street drivability possible. Concentrating on weight reduction, traction, and ultimately more powa!!!
