Come on guys, this topic has been discussed to death. Give it up, SVT's are better in every aspect. Faster 1/2 mile, better handling, better braking, and of course looks. The only thing the standard contours have on the SVT's is the price. I love my SE, but i'd also love to have an SVT. Who wouldn't? If you say you wouldn't want an SVT you're in DENIAL. Get over it the SVT's are better.
what point are you trying to make here? this guy wants to have the performance of the SVT. it CAN be done and exceeded for not much money. why can't we just support him instead of trying to compare the cars.
again, LT1, try the search feature. look in the classifieds. there are plenty of people pimping SVT parts. if you want rear disk brakes, i have a set for sale. if you want the upper and lower intake manifolds, there are vendors available here (although putting your through their own glass bead process might yield better results). TBs, no problem. i would also suggest investing in some of the Terry Haines goodies like the DMD and LSD to extend the lives of your motor and tranny.
good luck with it!
and try to post additional questions in the Performance sections. you'll probably get more helpful/directed responses there.
