This will be a beefy BIG car. I hope you plan on using that thing in the desert too. They seem to be very "dual sport". Good luck with the build! Can't wait for the pics.

yes this will be set up to do desert and sand thats kinda why im having a hard time choosing the motor really want a big stroker motor but i really dont think thats great for the long desert runs... and im not going big block so i have a few decisions to make still but there will be some good hp...just dont know if it will be 3 numbers or 4....

Congrats on your new ride..Sandco's are great cars.. IMO I would stay away from the big block. Your gonna be tearing up trannies and clutches and prob end up pulling your hair out.. Go with a stroked, blown Ls2 and you will be more than happy!
