I cant remember all the details on it now but it was a pretty nastly little set up too. How is the black car coming?
Yeah, that set of heads on the original engine is a pair that Janzter hand ported for Bobby. Haven't seen that other guys vette.

My black car is on hold indefinitely until I start making some decent money again. Found two good sized cracks on my T56 mainshaft tonight, so there's yet another setback. One step forward and two steps backward. You know how it goes sometimes.

Yes, def glad I found them now instead of later. It would have taken out my tailhousing if she let go on a launch or heading down the track.

I have a spare stock mainshaft I might use, but I'd much rather do a Viper MS upgrade. It's all money related lol...

Default Now I'm REALLY like Mike!

I picked up this black 2000 M6 Z/28 yesterday.

This will be my driver while I'm finishing the Orange 95 Z Street/strip car.
OK- I really just wanted a black M-6 like Mike (Now If I could just figure out how to make it 370 Cube's, )

It's been lowered and has new Hotchis Sway bars, QA1's, and BMR tower bar but will remain stock other than that (Aside from a LID and some nice wheels and tires!).
