Thanks for the compliments. Nothing special on the motor, when I went to order the sc the guy @ Atech said hey for a grand more you can get this... zz383 pace pak 425hp 460trq. So thats what I bought. I do have a vortech sc sitting waiting for me to break the motor in though. Hoping for 650hp. I hate to see a cluttered engine bay so I have spent some good time trying to hide the wiring.

Re: It was just gonna be a 5-speed....
I think you caught the thirdgen bug. Th more you learn about what can be done the more you do hahaha. Looks awesome!! Your getting me all excited now to clean up the underside and engine bay of my car when it gets warmer out. I have the same ac delete box. I love your pulley, heads, and valve covers. That strut tower makes all the differance too in handeling. Have fun! Is that a barracuda I see in the back?

Not a cuda. It's a 69 all orig road runner. Yes it is a bug. Cough cough. The ***hole that had this iroc b4 me really hacked it upthough. It still needs alot of work. I can't believe what some people do to their cars. Just look at this. Really ticks me off.

Re: It was just gonna be a 5-speed....
Ahhh a roadrunner. Nice. Roofline kind of looked like a 69 cuda. Wow that floor is pretty nasty. My brother had the same problem in the front floor pan up by the toeboard and rocker pannel. It was really bad. But my brother has a friend who does body work so he didn't charge us much to repair it. Floors take a lot of patience. My camaro luckly has nothing underneath only little on the wheel flair in the rear. Keep posting progress pictures. Looks like it is going to be a real street machine!! The things people do to there cars though come to me as just "why?" I love it when you see zip tied rusty wiring under the dash board....
