few new pics of motor swap and new paintjob

I still didn't mount the front clip obviously. just dropped in the motor today, will bolt stuff up tomorrow and hopefully fire it up in the next couple of days.

Looks great, but to make the rear more like it should with that high rise spoiler, you should get the grid style tial lights. Great job!

lol wax job, that is fresh paint about 2 months old that hasn't even been wetsanded or buffed yet at all. I have a 4" cowl sitting on the dining room table for the motor as well along with the front clip already painted as well.


motor is a 350 vortec headed, .510 lift cam, super victor intake, 3600 stall and TH350 trans. It should use every bit of that cowl hood as well, since the last intake was 2 inches shorter in height and I had 2.5" of clearance under the 4" cowl hood. i'll have to swap out the 1 inch spacer for the nitrous plate later on when i get it tuned and running better.

i have a pair of grids but they have cracks in them, so i didn't really want to use them, but i guess i could just swap them for now, unless you'd like to donate a mint set to me...?
