I have to admit that I've thinking about the same thing as I have a 351W at my disposal with a C-6 tranny. Although after seeing that in there, I might just go with the 351 with fuel injection. I've been thinking about adding an M112 pullied to produce around 8 to 10 lbs of boost. And, of course, liquid cooled too. It looks pretty tight in there though. I'm curious as to the cost, minus the turbo. I want to know how much I'll be putting into mine just to get close to 300 hp on the road, (before SCing it). I've been looking at the AFR heads and the victor jr intake modified for FI. I'm thinking of turning up the compression closer to the 9.0 to 9.5 range. I know that means less boost, but I don't want 20lbs of boost. Around 15 is the max that I'd want to safely go. Not sure if I can do that with a CR of over 9 though. If I were you though, you might want to try and find a C-6 tranny from (in my case) an F-150. That tranny will hold up to all the abuse you can give it. I'm not sure that your built AOD will last all that long...Besides, I think that C-6s can be had for less than a built AOD. Not as good of mileage, but you DID put in a 351... I like it though. It's refreshing to know that others are doing what I'm planning on. Be sure and let us know some #'s on that.
