Should be a cool swap. Nothing like ripping a brand new car apart to put a badass power plant in.

What trans and rear you planning on?

So you bought a base model V6 car to cut up? It will definately be a unique/one of a kind swap.

Thanks guys ... it's still a long row to hoe and it'll take time to get it done right. Keeping it somewhat under wraps for now ... suspension comes first ... driveline second, weight reduction 3rd, and once that's all done, the motor will be blueprinted and built. It'll be as quiet as is possible and won't see a lot of street useage. After I parted out the TA, I saved every dime I could and then bought my truck ... be needin' a trailer in the Spring, I guess.

The car is up North of here with measurements being taken to see how much it will need to be cut up. Chuck at FLP will be involved along with Dave at Yank and the boys at Strange Engineering ... these are the guys who have made things right with me through past breakages and problems. Others haven't.

I plan to seek advice from Jake LaMotta on the suspension and chasis side of things. Jake's done a lot of go-fast $hit in his time and most folks know he is very well respected in the racing community and he has a lot of connections. I may consult MTI for the motor and nitrous install ... just still have a lot of consulting and research to do.

I don't come on much because I've been without a race car, but, once this build is done, I'll be back alive on here. Everybody take care and don't street race like I used to do ... not so many years back. No family deserves to lose a family member ... give it all ya' got at the dragstrip, though and race safe (if there really is such a thing).

Ryan, keep that green machine goin' strong. I have a kinda' personal interest in that car for some strange reason.
