    That is looking good and my guess is it's going to fly when you get done.

    well yeah i hope it runs good... this motor is a bit tired has at least 49k on the motor. we'll see what happens. the thing will be lucky if it puts down 330 to the wheels.

    i got lots to finsh on it still, any suggestions on any of it i am open to hearing anything.

    1. i gotta revamp the throtle cable cuz the carb sits to high and the stock cable has to be bent to get it to work.

    2. i need to redo the fuel system and the fuel lines after i already spent a grip on AN line for the last set up with the NX nitrous kit.

    3. the blower crank pulley dont work with the the March pulley i have now cuz its too small... looks like i have to go with the huge ugly stock one.

    4. I'm waiting on my radiator and those griffins / aftermarket ones don't come with tranny line provisions so, i gotta redo that too.

    5. still waiting on my BTM MSD box to come here which is a boost retard unit.. any one got exp with one of these?

    6. most importantly still waiting on the hood from us body.. its been like 4 weeks. also someone just told me that they had a nightmare trying to get the one from us body to fit good. i thought it was the best one out there?

    7. im sure there are more problems that i'll run into.

    im all ears!

    thanks
