I say a charged Dart based 347 with crazy HCI or a Coyote swap with a charger

If money isn't much of an issue... man, I wish I had that problem.

Money is allways an issue. You can make a honda go fast if you throw enough money at it. First thing you need to do is set price range. That will help tell you what way to go. Don't spend all of your money on the engine, there is a lot of supporting hardware you have to figure in to the price. What good is a $5000(I built mine a few.. years ago) eng if you blow the tranny/ rear the first time out.

Thank you that is definitely a good way to narrow alot of stuff down. I plan on redoing everything from motor all the way down to the suspension.
