While a bigblock would be cool for a barely streeter, the turbo four -could be build for far less dollars and modifications, the stock tranny and a 8" rear would live quite nicely with a fast 2.3L Turbo motor
-go about as quick(yes i did say that! I would guess, since a Turbo pinto would go about mid tens, a mav would be good for high 10's easy.)
-get WAY better gas milage and be much more streetable
-wouldnt sound as nasty but could beat many a 5.0
-would handle far better without the excess 300# on the front end.
-could be fitted with less structural reconstruction
Just my opinion, I would love a BB monster motor, but not in something I wanted to drive at least a couple of days a week!
