Looks good, I gave Hinson a call about some parts and I was told that they would be giving me a call asap and guess what? Not a dang phone call. If only there was a diff company making these kits.

I made a few changes this week..instead of waiting for them to figure out how the fuel system is going to work I went ahead and ordered everything I need to make it a full return fuel setup. I ordered speedinc rails,-6 line to and from, aeromotive FPR and the proper items to allow the stock tank setup to run with a return.This will also eliminate the issue I was having where the stock fuel hard lines were pretty much touching the headers...that coulda ended bad. This will allow me to route them completely away from the headers.

I also went ahead and ordered the Pro Billet shifter..395$! ..but im told its worth every penny so we shall see. Just about ready to get this thing going.

Does it look like it will be hard to service? Spark plug wise? Looks like not much room down the side of the valve covers.

its actually VERY easy...there is a lot more room than there is on an F-body..plug swaps will take minutes..dont be fooled by the pics..theres ALOT of room to play with in there. Headers can be removed and replaced also very easily.
