This was with a slipping torque converter and a trans problem before the pan & pick up tube/filter mods! Damn tranny guy! Probably will be over 850rwhp when I go back?

Beginning of milling the bottom plate for my trans pan. Did opposing grooves on the inside so it would kind of work like fins to increase surface area for a little radiant heat removal.

Here's the 9" modified and ready to install. Narrowed it 1" to get a little bit more tire clearance on the outside. Moved over all the GM brackets.

Fabricated my own intake. Could not find a front loader intake that would work for this sucker! Now I know why they want 5 grand to make one to order! Takes a lot of time and research for sure!

Mid way on fabricating custom sheet metal valve covers for this beast. Needed clearance for Crane "hero" NASCAR shaft rockers after the Jessels took a dump with about 30 minutes of drive time.... How do you get a defective set of rockers when they cost a billion dollars I will never understand! I guess the solution is to spend 2 billion to replace them?

Reworked the front bumper some the replaced lost strength with tubing and welded her up. Also dumped the split grill insert on the nose and fabricated a full flow grill the full width of the opening for more air.

This is the correctly sized charge air cooler I fabricated for this car. Seems like procharger original is much undersized! Took up so much room had to incorporate the hood latch mount into the cooler.
