            Fair enough. Nice find on the second one too, are you going to put the stock interior back in? I know its a resto but damn that stuff is ugly.

              That Trans AM looks really nice!! Do you have any more newer pics. I like seeing what people are doing with their rides. That engine bay looks really clean. And that paint job looks nice. Once it is rolling, it looks like it will be really sharp looking.

                                  What turbos did you go w/ this time? Last time i talked w/ you i thought you had a single GT47.

                                        its an ok motor i have a scat crank, scat H beam rods and wisco pistons all forged, the block is a factory 4 bolt 350 out of a 1976 truck ( pretty decent block Brian from studervents (sp???) built it for me ) if and when this motor dies i plan on going with a dart little m and also go with afew more cubic inches, im thinking a 454 small block should do the trick.
