Full modified drivetrain swap for the 72

So I finally pulled the trigger on my 72 cutty. She's getting an all forged 408 stroker with chopacabra cam, and 799 heads, not sure on intake yet. Built 4l80 with billet converter, ford 9" built to handle 1000+hp 31 spline Strange axles, torsen posi, 3.89 gear. Will be running a lot of holley goodies and engine should be north of 600hp with good road manners. Engine should be around 11.5.1 compression. Block is getting machined next week, axle is on its way, and trans is being staged for rebuild. I got screwed on the engine so decided go big or go home.lol

Right on. Go get it. I can't hate on people going modern. Not like you are gutting a factory W car. Get 'er done. What is your car that you are putting that into? Pictures please

So block and new rotating assembly are at the shop. Hopefully no more surprises and I can finally get this done. Forgot to get a pic of the crank.
