You have to learn as you go and try to make as many friends as possible in the muscle car arena as you can. With everyone so busy nowdays, it's hard to get help from even the most experienced guys so you have to roll up the sleeves and dive into it. I would love to have the money for someone else to do it all for me, but then, it would not be as personal of a project. I like it this way better, but there are some things you just have to leave up to the pro's.

Hmm...what do you estimate it to weigh when done? I ask because I just got back from SSHS7 ( sshs7.com ) and the primary rule is to weigh 4000lb with driver to compete. We do it the first weekend of every November in Commerce, so it'd be close for you. We have people drive in from as far as NY, Miami, Michigan and Texas. Some guys fly in from CA and do "rental racing."
It's a lot of fun, especially if you like american muscle. The fastest B-body (GM) went 9.006 @ 155!  He wasn't competing though as he was underweight. The fastest car making weight was well over 4000lbs and went 9.4x!My 396 stroker wasn't done yet, so we took my wife's Caprice Wagon and went 15.35 @ 92.xx.

Way back when I used to drag race regularly, late 70's, there was a guy with a Mopar, with a slant six. If I remember coorectly, it was NA, and ran 10's. On the trunk lid, he had "Ain't it enuf to make you six?"

Well I think you have your answer. Slant six, twin turbos, ITBs, mega-squirt, knock sensors, individual coils, huge intercooler, knife edge crank, dry sump, 45psi. What, 1000hp maybe? Throw some NoX in for fun. 30 mpg around town. 85 gph at the track. Sounds fun and completely different.
