the general thought is the rear end can handle a stock/mild small block if you dont romp too hard on it esp with sticky tires.
the 280 rear ends are supposed to be stronger, especially the 280 turbo models.

Turboing a 5.0 is about as hard as turboing a D-series; flip the headers, open downpipes and done. :P
I'm not saying it'll never get done, I'm just saying you got alot of work. Start wrenching

you can use mounts off a lot of cars... its pretty cool.
gotta buy a T5 or some other trans. whatever i find cheapest first. manual thou.
im pretty sure the heads need new valve guides... but i'll probably put them on if it uses a little oil o well :-p
