I have the same head unit Pioneer DEh6300UB. What type of speakers are you using for the doors, sails, and hatch? I have Pioneer 2 ways up front, phoenix gold somewhat bass 6 1/2s in sail and stock speakers. I have a kenwood 1000watt amp powering my 2 12s kickers. stock amp for the doors, sails and hatch, but the pioneer head unit helps it out and I have a clean sound, just want it to sound a little bit better coming out the doors, sails and hatch.

started a new phase on the car build, to be honest i wouldve been very happy leaving the car the way it was forever. car is awesome with bolt ons alone im sure many of you know. BUT anyways, you have to have some go to back the show and lucky for me we found a 408 long block at a unresisatble price so lehgo.


starting with the day i picked her up, shortly after she took a trip to kim barr, dont worry we had the motor strapped way better than the hideous first attempt, made it back home and back into the closet.












this is when we picked her up from kim barr

Is that a used short block because it looks like a valve hit a piston?!?!?!? And why are the heads so dull and are you gonna paint them?

X2 It doesn't look right. Was the entire shortblock inspected by a professional prior to the build?
