I doubt that his set-up is anywhere near the $$$ of a properly running 20B conversion...

Is this a drag car or for road racing? I'm guessing drag but I'm dumb so please tell me.

Hum talk about front heavy, but who cares even I have thought about a LS1 too. How it the weight and how it is distributed?

Again, nice work! It'll be a good contender for drag.

It's definitely geared for drag and NOT road racing.

Who cares if the exhaust is pointing upwards? It's a short exit for a few second pass.

I doubt the car's weight is vastly affected with the v-8. Depending on what components are used and how the rest of the car is prepped, it could be balanced.

A 20B conversion couldn't touch this set-up.

Great job!

im not really sure how balanced the car is but it should hook very well with the rear setup i have from pushing the car around feels very light compared to it with the rotary
