Just from the look of it that will be one of the easiest cam swap cars around. Tones of room in there. Pull the radator and that might be all thats required for clearance near as I can tell. Awesome. If not it looks to me like you could just cut that cross member between the headlights (its probably just sheet metal anyway?) and with some welding a couple holes drilled/tapped, you would be able to remove the thing with a 12MM socket

Nice work man!

Thumbs up Wow

I came across some pics of this car a few weeks ago and was very impressed. Now that I have found all of these other pics and understand the amount of effort that went into this, and the fabrication that was involved, who cares what ANYONE says, I give you much earned respect.

sorry to be off topic, but this reminds me of when i came across a 5.0 Focus........I was looking around for a bad *** car but did not see anything, then the Focus left the light and I saw the rear end when he got about 3 cars away.......I never saw him take off but it was rather impressive.

I only joined to say congrats on making it work! Many should follow in your footsteps.......

OMFG I want to pull up to a light in that. I'll trade you my 32 ford roadster it 0-60ed in 3.2

Mosure can respline the CV shafts. they just re did a set for a C5 suspension I'm putting under a 57 Chevy. just pull the ends and the bearings off, clean up the grease and mail them the shaft with the race on each end.

this gives a the term RICE KILLER a whole new light

Sadly I won't be making it to IA, couldn't pull the funds since the last two weeks I was job hunting thanks to lay offs, but I will see this beast some day!

The videos are sick, cam sounds sick. Guess you went with a pretty loud exhaust, which is sick too, I was semi partial to wanting to see a sleeper *** build with quiet exhaust, but that just sounds and looks mean, congratulations!
