Finally some progress on the SB2

Well after a few weeks of not working on it for various business reasons, we made some progress tonight and got the motor in the car. To our delight, everything cleared

Hey that set up looks real familiar. My buddy Neal (PNYKILR) had a very, very similar set up in his '97 T/A. That thing was bad azz! Good luck with your project.

Thanks. I don't think the paint is specifically that for a Pontiac but it sure does look like it. A friend painted it so I don't know what he used.

That is going to be awesome when you get it done. How many RPM's did the motor pull on the dyno run video?

1. Thanks everybody.

2. It's a 396" LT1 with SB2.2 11 degree heads.

3. Yeah Shorts remember that thing back then, I had that ratty dual exhaust on it with the bullet mufflers, it was louder than it was fast. I remember you pulled me from a roll in the rain. Mainly cause I was a chicken **** **** with it being wet outside
