After a couple of months of it sitting motionless in my garage, I started her up today. I'm looking to drive her to a shop to work on the exhaust this Friday.



I ditched this...



For this...



Sits in there like it belongs...

so where's the technical aspect of the thread?
That's kind of a requirement to being in tech talk.
If there's nothing tech about it, it belongs in the pic thread.
That said, cool V8 swap.
What's the cost and which engine is that?

Ray- right now, i'm working with a guy to see what i can do about the steering shaft. he has some ideas that he wants to try. if he's successful, i'll be able to use the stock headers and make it street legal in cali. i'm only using the stock radiator because i wanted to start it. i'm looking to get a radiator from summitracing after thanksgiving. i had to use the gto oilpan on the swap. you still coming in dec?

HyperTek - i'm going to get the car weighed after i finish and i will post the numbers.

Texas, but yea, I still have them. It should be done by that time. As for the filter, no significant reason.
