I haven't actually fired her up yet.

I tend to get excited once I hear them run, so I didn't want to chance it and miss some of the minor details while trying to throw it together and just drive it finally!

I'll post some progress pics though! Really the only things I need to finish up are the surge tank setup I decided to go with in lieu of putting the pumps in the tank, make a radiator support cover, put all the electronics on the mounts inside the glove box, finish the headlights, and some other small odds and ends of course.. anyways, onto the pics!!

It's raw but it snaps when throttled. Well done!

Nice build! Do you have more info on what you had to do to get the fabricated front sump pan to work? I'm assuming that this was the eBay pan that Summit now also sells......https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g3610/overview/

Looks like the pan was unmodified, but you had to notch and box the cradle. Is this correct, and if so, do you have any pics of how much you needed to remove?

Aside from that exhaust, this is a great sleeper.
