Oh my lord. Just scrolled through this build. The money thrown at this! Drool!

I'm starting my first motor build on a spare LT1 and only looking for 390-400HP. Pricing out "average" parts and I can see how this stuff add up FAST!

Goodluck and looking forward to updates.

The MWC anti roll bar just arrived. The new S60 rear end should be on the car this weekend. I will follow up with more updates/pics shortly.

Didn't get chance to install the S60 on the car today, but I did get a chance mocking up the rear shocks mounting location. Here are some pic along with the new MWC anti-rollbar that arrived the other day.
As you can see in the pics, I installed shocks bearings on the Strange shocks to accept the transverse mounting location on the S60, thanks to Midwest Chassis.

Finally got a chance to install the S60! Put in 2.5 quarts of Lucas 85w140 gear oil. Also had the MickeyT's mounted and balanced, and the Spohn Pro series torque arm installed as well. The car will be on the deck shortly. Been on jack stands for the last three years.

Both John. GLD is a lot closer to me though.

I installed a 1-inch air filter spacer, just enough to clear the throttle cable linkage.

I incorporated a filter/lid for when street driving and to prevent dirt going into the engine. This is the only air filter set-up that will clear the VFN hood. Of course at the track, I will run it without. Tell me what you guys think. Any suggestions is always appreciated, thanks.
