putting 600HP into an 81' need advice
 

so im looking at putting a 600HP engine into my 81' monte i know i will have to replace the transmition with one that can handle that kinda horse power and ive been told the differential too but im having a little trouble finding a differential here is the engine and the transmition i have picked out
Engine: Small Block Chevy 427 600hp 10.4:1 Complete Engine - eBay (item 190511309593 end time May-10-11 12:17:30 PDT)
Transmition: TCI Auto: 6X Six Speed Transmission Package; GM Bellhousing & Outlaw™ Shifter
i was also looking on advice as to what else i will need to do for the car to be able to handle that much horsepower.

Your driveshaft and pinion, differential and axels all will probably need upgraded to handle the power. Not to mention your suspension will need upgraded or at least beefed up in the rear to handle the car on launches and burnouts. I would recommend upgrading the brakes as well to get that 600hp back to a stop in a safe distance.

thanks, would you have any suggestions on where to find the parts and how do i know witch ones are strong enough to handle it?

what are you plans for the car? strip car? street car? dual duty doing both?

mainly street.
