I used to have a 69 El Camino SS with a 396... was the worst driving car ever. All it ever did was light up the tires.

If you want to build a track car - at least start out with something that isn't burdened right out of the box. This stuff is hard enough and costs enough as it is without trying to turn something that doesn't work into something that is now just expensive and doesn't work.
Even if I move the engine and trans back and get this to an almost 50/50 weight distribution?
