Here is the link to the start of the build. Now that I have moved to Phoenix and got settled time to finish the bird. Now the engine can go back in with the recently purchased T-56. Just waiting for my clutch to come in.

Thanks 70TWO NOVA we have paint on the firewall.

LS7 clutch on the way. Once I receive that this week the engine will go in. I have the new drive shaft to install and also the brakes are ready as well. Should come together very quickly for Brian to work his magic with the paint.

Dude, you were supposed to paint it silver!:eek:




J/K looks great! If you have any free time this weekend let me know. I got the clutch in and need to install the motor/tranny. Tonight I installed the backing plates along with the disc brakes.

Here is a vid of the first startup after the tear down. The headers are stainless steel LPP 4 gen long tube headers.

Installed intake from New Era. The booster is from a 04 GTO and it sits flush to the firewall for a clean look.
