Just was a little extra to smooth out the transition and make them flow better.

Gotcha. Beautiful work. I have always wanted to modernize an old car like that....thinking about slapping a 5.3 in my 1966 F250!

nice work! should have done 67's, then you could have had the twin 67 67

You'll easily meet your goal though with the 62's

Not yet unfortunately. I am still waiting on the painter to finish so I can start installing this mass of parts I have. More then a little frustrated at the 4 month wait for paint job to be done

Awesome looking set up! I ran the twin 62's and 5.3 and it far exceeded my goal. Took my 4,000lb Chevelle to a 118mph in the 1/8th on E85 and no intercooler and still got 21mpg! Now I am trying twin 70's.

Well thought I would post a few photos and update on the build. I unfortunately am still waiting to get the body back from paint!! What a nightmare painters are but trying to keep positive on that. So started on the suspension and got alot of nice parts in.

New front subframe, 4 link rear with a built ford 9 inch, wilwood brakes all the way around with 12 inch rotors, adjustable coilovers, rack and pinion steering, should really improve ride quality and I can now fit a 275 tire up front and 335 rear.

Just have to powder coat it all and assemble. FUN STUFF
