I might have missed it, but you said 2 motors were toast, what did you end up with?

Thanks, Wish I could get a lift, but I think the celing is too low to really be functional. I still ended up using a 454 block, but built a 496 out of it, I am little modest when I say 625hp ...although it is completely overkill.

No prob. it's easy if you buy bolt on parts, little harder if you do the route I took modifying stock control arms.

Nice build, looks great and that motor is going to be wicked fast!

thanks, yea it should be a pretty good vette killer, I am also going to design my own launch control electronically transfering unsprung weight with the airbags.

Did some shopping today and got a fair bit done also.
Hooked up the dizzy properly, set the wires up perfect this time. and installed fuel lines to the reg. darn braided lines are such a pain to work with, but sharpen things up nice.

welded together some temporary exhaust, this way I can test the truck and actually drive it to the muffler shop when needed.

Photos didn't turn out so nice, I'll have to redo this with some better lighting, but here I am about 3/4" from the ground, so I can't get this truck much lower with the stock cross member. I sure hope my factory tubs will allow me to get this low.

again, poor photo, but the exhaust is about 1/2" from the floor. I must have had the headders on and off 6 times the last two days!
