I am nobody compaired to these guys here...but just my .02 cents.
You will ruin that car. I only say that because you mentioned crating the original drive trane...which leads me to believe you don't want a ragged out "street race" type car..you want to keep it nice. With no cage,( and a 582) if you take that to the track much at all with good tires (if it hooks up)you will have that car a mess.Door and fender gaps etc. Just my opinion.
