As mentioned before i am getting this running good and very drivable now so that i have a show/play rig while i am building the truck.
So anyways, i got to speak to the original builder of the car, Ronnie Vice in Alabama. The motor is a 383 cu in block .30 overbore, with Billet Splayed main caps, Eagle Steel Crank, Lunati Rods and Pistons, Hell Fire Rings, Victor Jr aluminum Heads and intake, Turbo 350 built to the teeth with shift kits and 3000 stall, Frod 9" Rear with 31 spline axles shortened and reinforced along with a Detroit Locker and 4.56 gears rotating 31"x18.5 x 15" DOT tires. He put more into the motor than i paid for the entire car he said. Unreal, but anyways, been working on the Brakes and such on it. I would post pics but not sure if that is ok to do here.
It's your thread so your decision. If you're going to do a build (finish what was started) & want to post updates/info on it, there's always the Alternative Tinkering forum for other types of vehicles/projects.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I'm perfectly fine with a tantalizing pic now and then of whatever else you're working on other than the '66.

And you can't toy with us without leaving a tantalizing pic! (I mean, we're all "car guys" here...).

I agree with both Scoti and SkinnyG. You're welcome to post up a couple pictures here, or if you would rather do a whole build thread, the Alternate Tinkerings section is just the place for a whole thread.
