Wonder how it corners with the extra weight and power? They did a very tidy job for $20,000. I would have done something else with my auto funds of $20,000.

Surprisingly enough the 2.8 V6 they came with specs at 352 pound and a Northstar being all aluminum specs at 400 pounds dry weight. Another option the Buick 3.8 V6 SC specs at 392 pounds. 

These swaps are pretty cool, a Northstar like that with 300HP and 300 lb/ft would be a handful in that car. I personally love the Northstar so I'm glad to see them getting use in hot rod applications like this.
