Default Pewter SS 454's one day out for the year :( Updated
So I took the SS out after installing new engine, tranny, clutch, fuel system all summer and a friend took a coupld of pics....what do you think. I see all these other sweet rides on here thought I'd ***** it out a bit I know its not real flashy but I'm going for the "subtle" stealth look!

Unfortuntely the intake has some issues so I'm not sure if it will make it out again this year.

Here are some pics of the 454 and it going in the car, once there it pretty much looks like a bolt on car unless you see the flashes of orange from the block!

Everything always has a price Unfortunately at this point I couldn't afford the chrome Iforged I want even after selling the Fikse's.

Actually I may try to post up the original pics the resized ones really don't do it justice!

Thanks guys its been alot of hard work, next spring it should be a fun powerful driver...

Can you be stealth sleeper with a 454 and FM5s? I think not. Regardless I love cubic inches and I love FM5s. Very nice.

"What do you have under the hood?"

"454"

It has to be great giving that answer!

Car looks great, BTW.
