Ma Baby -- 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix

This is ma baby. 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix:

I plan on dropping in either the World Crate smallblock 454 street engine ($9,999 USD), or the Chevy 572 big block crate engine ($6000 USD). 

If funds permit and if business does well, it's gonna be the smallblock 454.

"454" is my magic number.  I want it on my lincense plate.

Other plans:

• black leather seats, front and back
• 2 10" subwoofers in the rear quarter panels.  I want the sound quality of clean bass without it being muffled (as in having a box in the trunk, I hate that)
• upgraded speakers, amps by Audiobahn
• Detroit-locker rear end -- I want that clicking sound when turning the corner
• smallblock 454 World crate engine, balanced & blueprinted
• serpentine belt system
• aluminum rad
• dual holly 4-barrel carbs, mechanical secondaries
• hi-flo electric fuel pump
• GM 700-R4 transmission
• 3200 stall torque converter
• B&M stage 2 shift kit
• high-torque mini starter
• custom-fit headers
• custome h-pipe
• 3" mandrel-bent stainless steel exhaust pipes
• 2 Flowmaster "super 40" mufflers
• relocate battery to trunk

With this setup, my baby should sound like it's about to cut-off while idling, purr like a kitten when gently throttled, give the deepest, smoothest humming sound when getting going, and sound like it wants to kill someone when u step on it.  I know from experience -- this was the setup in my previuos baby before it got stolen (but that's another story).
