Holy hell, that just may be the best looking LT1 I've ever seen. And I really mean that. That is fantastic.

Thanks guys. Most of what you see is mock up. The final product will be a lot better. Depending on how tomorrow goes we shall see of it can fire up. I have some more fab work to do and some more stuff to get from the parts store. Also need to find an exhaust shop open tomorrow to open up my y pipe a bit. I will update again tomorrow.

well i was just gonna save this idea for my car for the one far away day in the future when i paint my car black, but Jim i think this design would fit your car perfect

it is Project Reaper after all..... i plan

on using the one on the second attachment, its the bottom pic, the most black and red icon, and it would

definalty look good on your car painted on the sides somewhere behind the rear wheels near the gas cap

****EXCEPT cut the part that says the duke off from the decal b/c that doesnt really fit for our cars

Just Highway Reaper, or The Highway Reaper

No, not in the car yet. I have been on jobsites for 16 hours a day with other mechanical design engineers at Navistar and the Chrysler plant. Haven't even had much time to sleep. I will see what i can do this weekend....

Thanks guys. I should have it all in and started up this weekend. Wife is out today picking up some last min things i need. Oh, and yes I have headers but eventually hope to have lemons make me up a custom set. Just want to get the car back up and drivable for the rest of the season and will address some weak points over the winter. I need to get the new S60 and dennys drive shaft, cage, chute mount and wheelie bar mounts. I am also looking at drag bar options and mini tubs. Glad I have a wife that loves cars and understands what it takes to build a car. Problem is then she gets a bug and wants me to do stuff on hers, then my son wants stuff done on his..... ah, never ending....

Engine looks nice. Is this going to be a street car? track? both? Either way it's gonna be flying.

Thanks. I would consider it to be both. It's a fine line to have it both ways but I am trying to find a happy medium. I won't gut the car nor will i do things like drag brakes etc. The car will be used to take out on the weekends looking for trouble and car shows as well as going to the track. I still have no idea what rollers will be on it for the track to fit over the Baer brakes on the front.

Doesn't look like a problem to me.
