What about a twin turbo'd 514? that would be sweet, but you would have to have a damn good suspension, tranny, rearend, etc. I don't really care about the cost, I don't really care if I finish it by the time im out of college. I just want something to do so I have a killer street car later. It is more about the excitement and anticipation you get when you are building one, fabricating and tuning. It makes you feel good when it actually runs.

Do you guys think a D.S.S. Level 20 347 would be able to handle all that power? Also, would I want the AFR 215 or 225 heads? Or should I just build the longblock with JE Forged pistons, Probe Forged Crank and Forged Rods? Or maybe I could stick with my GT40's and port them. The possibilities

Click to expand...

I think a stock 302 block will handle just as much power as the DSS lvel 20 blocks...they are the same thing after all.

<-- Wanted turbo, got Vortech, sold it, and went turbo, best thing I could have done. I dont miss the supercharger at all..... and the car feels so much stronger with less boost. 5psi intercooled turbo, feels different than 9psi on blower with alcohol injection.
