Thanks taner, hey i noticed the 9.27, dayum that's f-in flying.... still on the stick too... impressive as ****... I can't believe that thing is still 3500+ lbs. Do you plan on getting it like 200-300 lbs lighter to get that 8.99???? i gotta think there's gotta be at least 150 lbs you can remove no????
Yeah it's been a LONG time coming.... some of it was part selection and planning but most of it was financial. i don't have the kind of income where i can just write a check for 15 large and be done with it... so it is what it is i guess... plus while i was financing the motor build i was also hard at work prepping the car's other systems (electrical, fuel, engine mgmt, suspension, drivetrain, etc)..... The motor is about 1/2 of what the final product will be.... basically everything on the car is new other than the body and frame 
damm bro its good to see the motor finally getting wrapped up

But she's been paid for, owe NO debt on this car, just save as I needed, pretty rewarding when we're all done and running our goals right! Well that's what I keep telling myself ... Last edited by -PEPE-; Mar 24, 2007 at 12:11 PM.

From: LT1 land...the "409" of the 90s!
I am with Brett. I easily had over $6K into my short block. I have NO idea how much I have in the heads....Lets say $2,500. I put around $2,500 in the trans. Then all the legal stuff. Full cage, window net, five point harness x2, SFI Balancer, SFI Flax plate, SFI Trans and Flex plate shield, Drive shaft safety Loop, Wheel studs, Battery re-location and more I am sure.
Oh yeah then the suspenion parts. BMR Adjustable TQ Arm, Lower Control arms, PanHard bar, Sub frame connecters, Front K-member, lower control arms, QA1/Hals at four corners and again more I am missing.
The N2O system is all custom not sure how much there but Every bit of $2k
Then it rolled into a new truck to hual it and a trailer to put it on
All I can say is bring your check book and a heathly apetite for destrucion
