Default Mini Ram ?'s Again!

I know alot of you guys with the mini ram set up or like have started out bone stock like me, (2.59 dana 36 rear, 700r4 rear) I would like a minimum list of mods I would have to do to my engine to accomodate the mini ram and the cost. If I don't need headers, heads ported, bottom end built tough, then I don't care. The stall of T/C I would need and The rear end gearing I need. I know the dana 36 is weak but I mean really, How weak? Will a 3.54 gear do? I want my vette to run like an LT1 so please help! And If you would can you list the ballpark price of all these MOD's? Sorry so long I am ready to get down to bussiness now. Please Help!

there is one company that makes a lower gear than 3.33 for the D36, but i dont have the website so you might get a 3.54 made for it. However, you still cant run slicks at all, or youll risk it blowing up

youll need at least a zz9 cam, but the cam choice depends on power you want

The heads will need to be ported to take advantage of the cam. Headers/exhaust will also be necessary for a high power level. But you dont need the bottom rebuilt unless you already have high miles, or wish to push this car past about 6500rpm (which you can do with MR).

Stall converter, id use a Vigilante 2600-2800 stall.
