Mate, swing me a carton or two of blackrats and the materials and ill make ya a set of manifolds.

Id suggest you budget for a garret gtx4202r with a 1.01 t4 inlet v-band outlet rear, and either a built glide or a built t400 (id go the glide), and a 9-inch with trutrac and 3.08 gears.
also while a standard e38 computer will support 1000hp just fine id probably go a motec800 for all the added functions and support for say...nitrous...two-step launch control....

all depends on budget though....hahahaha

Dude you're just full of all the nasty ideas that people won't admit to wanting to hear!

I've been thinking about going for a powerglide and 9 inch, mainly cause after it's up and running on a standard motor, I'll start planing a built bottom end and shoot for some ridiculous power, so I may as well spend a wee bit more and be prepared for then.

Two step and nitrous.... You dirty dirty mofo!

Best combo ever, do it....do it now!

From the start it wasn't gonna be a short term project with mods to just get it on the road, so why not go all out :smoking:

L98 with arp rodbolts, headstuds, cam and cometic gaskets will make 650rwhp with a good fuel system on e85......how much more do you want?????? LMFAO

^^^^this.... This is good.

Little more progress today. Pulled the rear bumper and lights off. Pulled out the old alarm that had already been half cut out. Started removing the trim around the doors, but didn't do it all in case it rains, I'll do the rest next weekend when I get a cover. It's gonna need a new fuse rail cause this one is fried. I might move it out of the bay altogether, anyone got any suggestions of a new place or way of doing it? Anyhow here's some more pics:

Thought I'd try and be organised and put all bolts and nuts and stuff into zip lock bags and write what they're from so I know what goes where, and while I was inside getting a cool alcoholic beverage, the big dopey dog who keeps photo bombing my pics thought he'd see if they were edible, and proceeded to chew the bags. He'll be off to the glue factory if he keeps it up.

There's no rust, it just needs a good clean. Although the screws on the window trim were a bit rusty...

Better off ditching that fuse and relay wiring and just making up a new one under the dash.

They always melt on the VKs when lift in the engine bay.
