Anybody interested in updates on the progress of my big project? It's a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, red, with T-tops (no leaks, thank goodness!). I payed 800 bucks for it about two years ago which was honestly worth the American Racing rims it came with.

The general idea is a carbureted 383ci stroker with a roots type blower, not sure which kind yet. Iron block, aluminum heads, forged rotating assembly, solid roller cam, all the goodies. This will be backed up by a bulletproof T-5. Maybe dual clutch, haven't decided. I'm really hoping for near 500whp, but money will decide the final number.

The will be a weekend cruiser/street warrior, with full interior amenities. Power steering, door locks and windows, A/C, radio.

What do you guys think? I have some pics and such if anyone is interested.
