Ed,
nice projects!
I can definately appreciate something different.
see my sig.
Working with what ya got, on a budget that's what hot rodding is all about.
Now, is that an aircraft runway you filmed those vids at? I would kill to have one pass down that thing. Pure freedom.
Oh and those Corvette Speedline Magnesium wheels, what'd you do with them?
Keep wrenchin'

was that a v6 or v8 car from the start? did you make your mounts or were you able to use some exisiting/stock style mounts, I have been thinking about doing a sbc/bbc swap for a while

Yeah I finally got a ship date for the military. July 1st. So I am thinking as soon as my parts for my other project get here. And since money is tight at the moment I may put something together to just get it running.

Well A little update. I was debating selling the car 6 speed etc. Since I am not sure if I will have the cash before i leave for the army to get it running. I was lacking a few parts for my 454. But now I may be able to swing it. So I am going to update first post.
So now I plan on using a vortec 8100 (since I already have 2 complete motors) and modify the intake to fit under the hood. I was wanting to use the LS1 pcm etc but after looking into tuning software etc I could buy 2 megasquirt efi setups for the price of decent tuning software. So i sold the ls1 pcm wiring etc. I also purchased 2 of them ls1 msd ignition set ups. Since my truck and my car will pretty much have the same motor in them and the same efi and igniton setup
