WOW, looking great. What are you going to use for axles. That thing will twist your current ones like licorice candy.

I had a Olds 455 in a 232" 5000+ Lb 98 Regency but it was severely burdened with Calif smog stuff including a clogged Cat. Still never had to work hard getting from one gas station to the next. Great motors. I see a very fun future for you. -BA
