[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11904480, member: 11681"] Does the handling balance of the car matter? How about throttle response? I realize that drifting involves keeping the tires spinning at some pretty high speeds with fairly sticky tires and that requires a very high power to weight ratio. BUT... Balance and handling still matter and a 385 series BB Ford stroker that is also turbocharged is much heavier slower responding engine than many of the other viable Ford options available to you. Like a 7 liter Windsor turbo to name just one. If I was doing this I would use a much lighter engine. Just because the original Terminator engine was an incredibly heavy 720+ pounds dressed and wet, doesn't mean using another heavy engine is an optimal choice. If you have the option to start over with a Windsor based stroker that will easily cut close to 200 pounds off the the nose of this car and make it WAY MORE CONTROLLABLE! Please consider this option.
