yeah i guess i should change the coolant bottle. it looks pretty scanky. i plan on making the car mostly street as well as going to the drags, but just for my own pleasure.

Nice, I've looked into those motors before. Look pretty decent and I see you got the 434 version? Nice to say you have a 434 SB in your car huh? They say it should be producing around 575 right?

thanks alot for all the complements.

im using the original front bumper. i also think that the car should stay the way it came from the factory. i still have to paint it. im in the process of sanding down the 6 layers of paint that are on it. it really sucks. hopefully i'll have it ready to paint soon.

the motor made 576hp and 582 ft-lbs at the crank. it sound awsome.
