Default The new project is slowly comming along....

Well the cars ready for the roll cage & paint. Then I can start putting all the suspension & new brakes on. Here's a link to some pics of the parts I've gotten so far & some progress on the car...

I got the AFR 227's, Vic "E" intake, T&D shaft rockers & Kooks stepped headers a few weeks ago. So all i have left is the rotating assembly & have a cam cut to match the heads & the motor is done. Then I can start on the fuel system, 6spd & 12 bolt.

Hopefully I'll have it finished this time next year (since Jess is pregnant it's gonna take a little longer than expected)

Lemme know what ya think!

yea, at this point I'd just like to get the cage done & paint the car so I can put the wheels & suspension on. At least then I could have a badass looking car to stare at for a while

What are your plans for a fuel system?

A little 411 for ya , I know a guy that made 700 rwhp with a single 255 in the tank and stock lines.

COnsider that before you pop for a mega dollar stand alone fuel system.

I'm planning on setting it up to run on E85. E85 is way cheaper than C16 or performance unleaded & there's not a whole lot of difference in price (on the fuel system) if you're doing a custom fuel system anyway.
