Here is a few more parts. The PTC converter will be order monday and the TH400 is being built as we speak , We was initially going with a GLIDE but after doing so research found the TH400 better suited for this combination. Looking forward to more stuff being done! You can also get updates on more projects we have going on like dragster and saleen Modular ford at https://www.facebook.com/wwracecar/ stay tuned more to come on the LS setup...
