6.50's will be no problem with a almost stock ls1/auto in that car.

Yeah, I hope so. I have a set of 4.30's in the rear w/ upgraded clutches in the posi unit , a th350 w/ a custom 4200 stall from PTC , a T-Rex cam w/ dual valve springs 7 deg locks and titanium retainers, Kooks 1 3/4 to 3" headers . I will be setting up a fogger system on it after I get it running on the motor and will spray the s@#! out of it.

This is a picture of a 355ci small block chevy I was originally going with. It had Dart heads , flat top pistons , and a nasty little cam in it. I then decided to go with the LS1. It has been a lot more expensive this route but I think it will pay off.....

I talked to the guys at PTC and I won't be getting my converter until around the 14th. They originally sent me the wrong converter , so I sent it back to them and they have had it for two weeks. I am a litte pissed off, but that is the way this stuff goes. Anyway, once I get that back I will have the motor and trans in . I will post some more pics when that happens.
