OK your hood rails, what are they and where did you get those?
I like everything I see, the rear tunnel notch I like alot, I'm contemplating making that removable, but at this point I think it's staying permanent. The rear floor being flat is nice too, makes a good place to put a muffler if you have to run them.
The shock tower cutting is a little extreme, but if it's stiff then cool. I know that's how alot of the outlaw 10.5 cars I have seen are done, not sure if I want to go that far though... that's alot off and not much left up there.
What's the car weigh now, or should I ask, what does it weigh compared to all that being in there still?
Get rid of the stock spindles too, they're heavy as ****, you ditch those for a LW one and you'll lose another 50 lbs off the car.

But it looks pretty good... I'm guessing it's a MADMAN piece

Wholly **** that motor was fucked up! That's some serious bend in the rods, what kind of rods are those? I haven't seen anything that bad in a while, piston took a beating too pretty bad, crank's probably screwed too I'd guess.
My motor's for sale if you're looking for a decent piece to run while you're fixing your other one... went 9.50 with a single 65 jet @ 3350. You're probably gonna be tipping the scales around the 2800 mark with what you've done there I'd guess, that and a single plane/fogger, say with a 28 to 30 jet would easily run well into the 8's on 1 kit I'm positive of that.

What did it weigh before?
I'd say that looks to me, like a 2850 lb raceweight. You've taken a bunch of stuff farther then I was going to and I KNOW that with an alum block motor and the 8.50 cert it was gonna be about 2900, with a 240 lb driver.
Check my motor for sale thread... might be a good way to get ya by while you're working on the other motor.... I want to move this thing, and you probably have an intake that would work and don't need the waterpump... price is broken out without that stuff, lemme know.
