heres a couple pics of my 69, same deal-in a nutshell, i used a 6.0 truck motor, replaced the rods/pistons w/ forged, stock 317 heads, z06 cam, carb intake, d1sc procharger/intercooler(8 rib conv)-i used hooker headers/mount adapts, cts pan, vette front drive because i wanted vette procharger setup, afco a body ls radiator-trans is a switch pitch turbo 400(old school stuff)
my goal was to have a car i could drive anywhere and have fun with, it pretty much fits that, left the bench seat in, col shift(which the headers caused a problem with the linkage, tried the one piece shiftworks kit, (not wild about it) so gotta work on that
