Which engine is the new one

[BigBlockSam]

lol, the orange engine is the sixpack motor. lotsa head work, big valves too ,roller rockers . should be a strong motor . aiming for about 450hp.  yes i'm painting the engine compartment satin black and the cross member gloss chassis paint black . bought all the paints from eastwood .

i couldn't afford to buy a new dashboard  and it was in decent shape. so Jack's air brush buddy redid the fake wood . came out real good removed cleaned and tested every piece in the dash , everything works now and works well. i also put new gauge decals.

next i,m trying to find an overdrive unit that won't break the bank and gonna put the back wheels on the front and get the biggest wheels i can fit in the back . i got a set of 70's traction bars from Stu . gonna try to put them on too. 70's street racer

i got the long hooker comps they sell for $799.00 .i got them through hooker scratch and dent on ebay . $169. and ceramic coated too. they look good 

on a side note the bolts holding the universal together were crappy home depot stuff. glad that didn't come apart doing burnouts .that would have been a mess  


I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!!
