starting to get the digital dash wired in. when it gets back im gonna use the stock cluster to make some kind of template out of ABS plastic or something to mount it nicely. might just flat black the stock plastic part and recess it in if itll fit.

I wish I had the money and time to do a setup. I know jeff could do the piping it would just be all the other things that would add up on me.

thats where the car sits now. I was about tired of working on it so i dropped the car of to the local shop and they are installing the dash, the dataloger/digi dash, single plane, and tuning it.

then it comes back to me to paint the cage, install the interior and new corbeaus i picked up
what type of manifold is that..thats the setup im looking for!!!!and does it fit stock lt1 heads or did you have to modify
