    Boost the hell out of a B230FT. Those engines are tough as nails. They can stand a lot of abuse. My 740 Turbo was a lot of fun. Do the 302 swap if you don't care about handling at all. The biggest thing to worry about on both the 240s and 740s is the weakness of the rear end though. Have fun with your brick.

    Yeah that Dana 30 is a weak lean... I wonder how much power can be made with the B230FT? I need to find out who makes forged internals, then maybe put a T60 on it... 400rwhp-500rwhp would be nice for a DD...
