nope not my car, sorry.

But, I do have a 14.5 to 1 motor sitting here for sale that will end up going in it if I don't get it sold...

I figured as much. When it was for sale for about the same money as Paul Major's used motor, it was a killer deal.

Note, that Paul is still sitting on his ls motor.. and that's been for sale for what 3 years now and noone's snagged it yet....

Not much to report on...but I did fix one of the dzus fasteners on the hood....it was a little off with the bracket, so I moved the bracket a bit...attaches so much easier now

Had a nice "PUSH OFF" sticker made for my kill switch, so I got that installed too...

Also decided to cut and buff the hood and while I was at it, threw a nice coat of polish on the car

Man I can't wait to see this thing in action.

Brian do you have any older footage of this thing in action to tide us over for now?

LMAO I took that Video.

Looks great Brian. You weren't kidding about being bored and out of stuff to do before the bullet shows up. I thought it was a race car not a show car.

soon....I'll be away in Europe next week and it might be in my garage when I get home...

We have everything at the shop...just need to do all the machine work and assembly...

First off...big thanks to RHS for hooking me up with a very good deal for a new block...this was really a time saver. Also big thanks to Shawn for making this happen! New motor will be virtually identical to old one with two exceptions:

went with diamond billet pistons vs the JEs
going with a radically different cam profile

I still have the repairable block at the shop...and am willing to sell at a reasonable price...not giving it away since I can keep it for a backup.
