Wow, OP you're a helluva inspiration. You make it look so easy, I envy you your progress. I'm nearly ready to start my own, but I need to get crackin' on tracking down a decently priced gt cluster and ecu/wiring harnesses.

Car launches great btw.

I was worried about the bolts (stainless steel) hitting the gas tank. An obvious no-no.

Rides pretty rough, but Im still getting used to it. (I did have a GONE suspension). Handles excellent.

Oh and today I stripped down my 351 block. Thing looks perfect inside, a 10 over bore would be plenty, but for convienece sake Ill just do a 30 or a 40.
Making either a 393 or preferablly a 396.

I need to order some probe pistons I was looking at and send it to the machine shop.
