Bet its gonna be sweet when your done. Any idea on whats going under the hood yet ?

Engine is already done. 496 Stroker Forged internals, 10.3:1 Compression, AFR 305 CNC Heads, Air Gap Intake, Custom Hyd Roller Cam, Pro System 950HP with 1000 metering carb flowing a true 953cfm etc... Hoping to dyno next week. Should be over 600hp.

Looks like you are off to a good start.

Wow dude. That engine looks HOT!!!

Thanks guys...I wanted something a bit different as far as the looks of the engine went. I am totally stoked with it. Finished removing ALL the suspension last night...only thing hooked up still is the break lines, valves and Booster. Going to pull it tonight. Brought all my control arms/components into work today to sand blast. Tomorrow I will bust out the wire wheel, degreaser and some sand paper and getting the chassis ready to primer. :)

Bet that 496 will rattle the fillings out of your teeth! :)

Haha.. well...through the control arms, spindles, and other little pieces in the parts cleaner here at work, than sand blasted them, primered and painted them up. Now I have to finish working on the firewall so I can finish painting the front half of the chassis and that. From there I will start bolting her all back together :)

Piece by piece. Looking good Brand...:D

Thanks...the firewall is going to be the "TASK" as I have to patch the cowl panel and deal with a bolt on my booster that will not come off for the life of me. Lots of wax I have to strip. I hope to have that done and painted by sunday. I really want to drop in the engine/trans by the 6th of Feb.
