Sigh...why do people insist on doing something when all the advice they get tells them otherwise? The 12 second ride Dave is talking about is a NHRA Stock class combination and it is nowhere near being streetable with loose convertor and tall gears and a wastegate that's pinned shut. Shotgun's combination was slightly modified but still near "stock" but it was installed in a lightweight T-1000 chassis that was gutted.
Weak crank
Weak block
Weak flowing cylinder heads due to siamesed intake runners
No aftermarket parts support
My father had a phrase for such an effort...he called it "shovelling crap against the tide".
