Looks like I have heeded the warnings and some EPA advice pretty much screwed the 454 plan sideways!!! But I'm no looking into a new Gen 3 Ls1 engine from a commo? easy epa and parts plus some development in the future. Maybe a blower? Should propel the wagon down the quarter in some good times while remaining drivable on the street. Do I hear a blown efi 383ci stroker? Plus it would still look different under the bonnet as apposed to a carby 350. Any thoughts.

Well, again, if you got the $$$ its a good way to go.
Not the most common conversion.
Can think of a few hassles that may occur.
Extractors - probably have to be custom made.
Wiring - can be done, but will be a mission and pricey.

Mate,

Probably go for nitrous on the track and some Naturally aspirated power for the street. Looked at eagle spares for the engine $$$ and it's not to bad for what you get. Looked at Castle electrics and they sell a
