Cool, first order is to figure out what to buy, ie.. which heads, which shortblock lifters etc... Really want the burl of the 351 block. Main question is just figuring out what cc heads i need on a stock deck 351 block to make 9:1 compression ratio.

Full plan is like this:

Build engine, Install engine and break it in for a while..
Buy turbo kit, Install turbo kit

.. on a great note, I was at the Gainesville raceway last wed, saw a 86 GT with a 93 cobra eng with incon twin turbo kit running 10's ... smoking many cars that where 5 times louder and had slicks the size of texas on them. this car had othewise low profile drag radials on it. it was so sick. Inspired the crap out of me tho. The guy was pretty cool, kinda short and seemed real busy tho, or else I probably would have talked his ear off for the remainder of the night.

Maybe next time he will take me for a pass in it and make me go bananas.
