Then add another $3-5K for a good tranny, $2k for a rear end that will stay together and pray you have money left for people to install it!!

Yea, my advice.. if you get tired of the truck you build that runs 11s-12s.. put old stock stuff back in, move the motor and tranny, etc over to an fbody and say hi to 11s-10s lol. amazing what an extra 2000lbs less weight can do for your 1/4 mi.

Damn your finished before me!!!
Excited to see some vids/pics and numbers! Funny how your build is done before the two other 370 builds that motivated you to build one yourself are done.
