Thats because they have to be "Cheated up" I mean Blueprinted like the NHRA stocker motors to be fast.

I would build an 89-93 coupe if I was building a new stocker or efi super stocker. The coupe make s a nice package altogether.
Other than that, I'd put an FE engine in '05 up model to run SS.

96 3.8 v6 (or any SN95 3.8 that's in the guide) for T/SA. The V6 would cost close to the V8 to build but have you ever looked at the HEADS on that thing?
