Hello, My name is Nick, I'm over here in LI NY, and a few weeks ago I came up with this crazy idea that im going to take an 650 HP Iron head big block on E85 mated to a T-56 and put it in a custom tube chassis to handle like an autocross car on the street; It will be configured with the engine moved at least 10 inches back into the firewall of my 88' IROC convertible. change the interior completely from a four seater to a two seater by moving the seats back and custom modifying and making the dash, steering column, hvac, and maybe a stereo system with the now plenty of room behind the seats.
so tell me if im crazy or tell me its a great idea and give suggestions i think it will be very unique which is what I like so all of your positive and CRAZY input is all welcome. and thanks for having me here.

Yes Sir! You are "almost" as crazy as I am... Just make sure there is room for your feet once you get the engine positioned... :)

Cool glad to hear support! I will still be doing a lot of research I think the only thing I will be actually paying to have done is the tube chassis and suspension itself. The only experience I have with that is competition monster trucks and I'm not putting rockwells in my iroc haha
