Congrats, Stan!
Regarding your comment about the car 'pulling hard'...I've noticed that it comes on strong (mine, anyway) @ about 3200rpm. This is somewhat different than the old iron block, which began to pull strong @ 2200.
Because of this, I'm glad I went for the 3.70 rear.
What rear gear are you using?

I wish I could help ya! I have not a clue on any of the three. I say Magnacharger, they seem the most popular. Or Procharger and do a centrifugal supercharger. Better yet get a crank mounted centrifugal so there is no belt at all!!!

Looking great! What size of sub(s) you gonna use? Are you going to add speakers up front? Keep us posted as this might be a future project for some of us. Fast car and great sound, what else could a man ask for?

I like those kick panels! I wonder if those are the same as a 69? I would love to at least have some sound up front. I didnt want to add in the 4x10 in the center but also didnt want to cut up my doors. I didnt know they made such a panel. Thanks for the information and pics. Looks like my kick panels I just got done putting back in will be leaving in the near future.

Just went to Screamin Performance and they are the same for 67-69. They do some awesome work! Did you look at the car they did "Agent Orange"? It is badass! Thanks again for the info.
