I do believe this would make a very elegant drifter. 1uz, welded diff and its game over.

A boosted LS1 would have to work hard to make that thing drift.
If I want to drift in Luxury I would get a BMW M5

I used to have a 1970 Olds 98 two door that would get sideways real easy.
It had a 13.5 to 1 Comp ratio 455ci big block with an 850cfm carb!
it hauled ass at 5k lbs! I got it to do a 14sec 1/4 down in baytown(granted it was winter time here probably helped)
It was 21 ft long with fender skirts!
and got about 5 MPG when I was lead footin' it.
I'll try to find some pics of it.

it might have helped that it had a It had a 455ci big block with an 850cfm carb. So taking out a bigblock and replacing it with a 4 cylinder probably is not a good idea

Since when did the 1uz become a 4cyl?
