Hi guys, it's been a while since I've posted on here. Life gets in the way of playing cars sometimes

So, I've got a 68 LeMans build on the back burner, and it's time to start getting the pieces together for it.

The idea is a street trim car with a couple turbos for fun. Automatic trans, in the 4L80 variety most likely.

I was starting to lean towards an LS, but I do have some parts on the shelf I'd rather use, if it's at all reasonable, so I was looking for some direction.

I've got a couple of 68 400 YC blocks and stock cranks. A set of 6X's and a set of 48's. I think the 48's might push the comp ratio a little too high?

From the reading I've done on this board, the stock stroke of the crank sounds like it would be ok up to a point?

The other parts I had in mind to source would be rods and pistons of the forged variety. The manifolds would likely be the airboat forward facing ones that I've seen here, and floating around the interwebs.

At the end of all that, I guess what I'm asking for is some advice based on the junk I have already laying around.

Sorry in advance for the long post
