After reading the first few pages I was thinking to myself this is going to be the world's best engine swap for a Honda or the world's biggest cop out. You've come this far and it looks like you're going to make it.

I bet it feels like the pressure's on when you're working on it huh? Even working by yourself I bet you feel the presence of thousands of people. After all this hard work you're going to experience the greatest feeling of joy of your life on your first ride with it. You won't stop smiling and it's going to look like you slept with a coat hanger in your mouth.

So how much money have you collected after every ricer, tuner, and muscle car enthusiasts has thrown their 2 cents in?

That's awesome man!

I just read the entire thread start to finish. You just owned my productivity at work for the past hour and a half.

I can't wait to see it all painted with the interior in. We need videos of that thing smokin' down the entire 1320.

Amazing project man, if you get it looking better for the show, get us some more pics.

And I thought I was different putting a full 4thgen drivetrain, dash, doorpanels, seats and interior into my 3rdgen.

Oh, I got an idea!
Go buy a 1984 Corvette C4, make sure you put "Crossfire" somewhere on it, and swap the C5 parts into it....now that's a sleeper! lol jfwy dude
Good luck with the build!
