So are you gonna be able to beat GTP's after this?

 

[JDHedman]

ummm...? most of them?.. not to sure never raced one... but I hear they are Really Really FAST

 

[StrobinSS]

I recognize that new/used motor

 

[pewterz55]

awesome man sounds like a nice build. any specs on the h/c

 

[Shibby50]

Just a question, but why rip the whole front end off? Sounds like a nice list for winter though.

Looks like this is gonna be an H/C car, perfect, now we can set up a race for that $100 bet turk threw out!

Nice lookin build, what you expecting out of the car power wise?

Outside is gonna look tittahs, especially with the wilwood brakes

- fuses relocated
- weight reduction
- grill
I am also gonna do some lighting behind the grill and relocate my hid ballasts. and its only gonna take a few extra hours, so why not..

and I wont scratch up the front bumper cover doin the swap

I should get some more work done next week sometime.. real busy these days.
think Imma pull the motor next.. then I can start cleaning up the accessories, brackets and underhood

I dont know of this $100 nor have I ever meet Turk ( that I recall )

should be around 430whp



already have them.. just gotta get new pads and rotors ..

 

[Mook]

[Turk]

I think I made the bet saying he couldn't bet a heads/cam LS1. The car we were going to use was Wingers.
