That would be a great combination. I have a 5.3L engine I will be using for mock up. I am still up in the air on what combination I will settle on. I think I change my mind every other week.

Thanks for the comments. Back when I was a kid my older brother told me about a drag car he saw labeled "Financial Burden." I've always thought it was a great name for a project. I like "Going Broke" too!
