I like the double din ideas. I was thinking of modifying the console so that I wouldn't have to modify the dash.

I want to say a big thanks to Jesse Olson of Olson Kustom works..he make the best adapter plates you can buy.mine are custom made to go from my magnuson heartbeat supercharger which uses a ls7 port to my ls1 cathedral based heads.considering the huge port differences these transition really nice..these will let me use my supercharger now till I build my future ls427 with ls7 heads.. Ls7 water pump installed,painted to match the rest of my accessories
Olson kustom works ls1 to ls7 port adapters

Love the looks of that supercharger on there. I will have to keep the Olsen adapters in mind.
