383 is getting closer!

Just thought I'd share my progress. This build seems to have been a group effort so I wanted to pass my thanks to RB, Ede and so many more on TGO for all your tech tips. Thanks guys! I was planning on firing it up this weekend but I had to order two fuel fittings that connect the HSR fuel lines to the stock lines. A couple other minor things and it should be running next weekend!

Yeah, I cant wait to see what it will do. I'm thinking low 12's if I can get it to hook up. My next addition is a Spohn torque arm that is sitting in the garage now waiting to be installed. Later will be 17 x10's in the rear, that should help it out.

Yeah, I dont think it will start with the coil wire missing! I took the picture since I had some down time, waiting for the fuel line adapters. I hooked up the MSD-6AL today and yes, the coil wire too! Now just waiting for the UPS man!!
