I had a pair of those in a Nova once. They were kind of laggy on my 355, but once they spooled it was fun to drive.

Would i have to replace my 60e to run that?

No, it bolts right up, you just need a custom flexplate.

Looks perfect for a mid-engine Suburban.I guess I could mount the 150 gal fuel tank under the hood,but what do I run for a transaxle? Sounds like a killer 2 seater SUV and all for just under $1,000,000.00.Where's Jay Leno when you when you need him.

If you replace the rod bolts you can take it to 7000HP.

Cool

I wanted mine painted some other colors and the turbos polished.
