Serious question for everyone here….

I'm partial to the 6r80...

Would a NA Predator be similar to an Aluminator?

Yes essentially the 5.2XS.

If you end up going N/A... I have an extra GT performance pack gauge set you can have.

The predator would start out NA but would likely get boost down the road.

Well so far its looking like the predator is winning out!

I say VooDoo!

I suggested the predator because they seem to be more reliable long term than a voodoo. I mean , there is a reason the Europeans haven't built a flat plane v8 over 4 liters, maybe because the weird harmonics that are developed from a flat plane is greatly exaggerated in larger displacements and that greatly reduces its reliability. GM is about to get the same lesson ford learned with the voodoo with the new Z06 engine, a 5.5 liter flat plane v8. Just my opinion, but it's something to think about.

This build has me thinking about doing the same with a fox body and a gen 3 coyote/10R80 driveline and a complete wiring and dash/interior out of an 18+ GT. Imagine a lightweight fox body with adaptive cruise, BLIS, back up camera, paddle shifters that work, heated/cooled seats, SYNC 3 with gps, the running pony puddle lights, and all the other gadgets we are used to in our S550's. I even came up with a couple of names for the project that could also be used on the license plate, it's either FOX 550 or S FOX50
