Lightbulb AWD Conversion? Street fighter Ideas? Problems? Solutions

Ok I'm just going to throw this topic in the mix. I've been wanting to do this sense 91, the year of the AWD Sy/Ty . Ever sense that day I was pulled into the reality that 4 is better than 2. And was quickly made a believer in the ultimate way to make a unstopable Stop Light too Stop Light street legal machine.

First start with drastic weight reduction

Now the tuff one. Then we throw around the front diff. What to use? We all know that the new independant chevy 4wd front ends will handle the task, but how to convert from torsion bar to bags? Input?

Next we stick a salvaged Awd Astro Van transfer case, then mate it to a 4L80E or better yet a bullet proof 700R4, Input?

Now the motor possible Messler built installed 1200 hp aluminum block/head SOHC 350 Twin Turbo TPI Ram Air set-up.

Finally the conecting factor the meats. I would have to say 20" X 10 front 20"X12" rear with around 30" diameter, either G-Force tires, or a soft compound, High G-force holding tire.

This is my sick goal, and dream in life for my blazer.

Now what are all off your thoughts and input? Aside from the sick engine set-up I think that this could be built for a reasonable price if home grown.

Ok go ahead and laugh, but they laughed at the Quadra Duece until it threw down 0-60 times in 3.2 seconds. Say we Quadra Blaz?
