We are talking Vortec 350, not LT1 350, so I will be able to get one that is new enough to pass emissions. As for the drivetrain... ahhh hell no it ain't going to survive. It is a close call on which will go first. My 4L60E has been beefed up so it might handle it. But the front diff is probably going to split wide open... that is if the eaton in the rear doesn't explode. Not that I care, cuz when that happens I get to upgrade to bigger parts!!
