Post Road Race/Time attack sedan build

I've had some bad luck with half-*** builds so im going the full monty and making a dedicated track car out of my sedan, ie. full cage gutted interior high compression boosted k20/k24 and a sick susp. setup.

i started with an 88 dx automatic that i bought for 1200 three years ago
i ditched the autoand converted to mpfi and obd1 with an ls

that ls had arp main and head bolts, cometic hg, custom ;-} port and polish, new rings, acl bearings, type r oil and water pump and a few other goodies. a measly 130hp to the wheels wont be competitive though, any recommendations for a good machine shop to install sleeves in the tristate?







this is how she sits now.i m removing all the sound deadening with some dry ice then pulling the engine so i can begin stich welding the chassis as soon as i have some time, sorry for not having more pics, my cam craps out on the reg.

Build you own. It can be done for $100-200 in metal.

Here are some plans for one, its for a mini but gives you an idea on the construction.
