hypothetical engine build

ok, i got real bored driving home from Autozone just now(they didnt have ls1 front crank seal) and I started thinking. This engine build idea is NOT for my SS nor any f/y body.

here goes, lol, I have always wanted to do a turbo build. I was thinking an aluminum ls1 block, top of the line rods, crank, and pistons, 241 heads, custom grind cam, rebuilt stock rocker arms, custom sheet metal intake, and headers coming up and forward into twin turbos and through a huge intercooler. Trans would be a mild-built TH350 with 3.73 gears out back, maybe also a gear vendors OD setup on the trans as well.

The motor would not be for all out performance, just to be "quick"(low 12s) and a crowd stopper. It would not get built for years, but i could start buying/gathering parts in several months.

I just figure i'll have at least 4 years to plan this all out, and build it then, or start if i have time which i doubt.

I just think popping the hood and seeing that setup would be amazing. haha
