    havnt posted any project pics since my V8 swap so here you go, enjoy :D. the rebuilt V8 has been laying dormant for a year hopfully i will have everything 100% hooked up so i can fire it up.

    the motor has been built as close to stock as possible, its been bored out .60 over and has a rv cam in it, the rest of the guts are stock factory parts, the heads are stock too. it also has a 600cfm edelbrock, full length hedders, aluminum intake, aluminum radiator, electric fan, altenator upgrade and electronic ignition system. the drive train is stock too, c4 with heavy duty setting b&m shift kit and factory 2.79 gears in the rear, i recently added a hurst promatic 2. soon it will have a new paint job(jet black) and cobra wheels(17x9).

    lol yeah blue just happens to be my favorite color. it took me awhile to get the cable looped so it would kink on the way down, i ended up making an oval in the floor so the cable would bind at the top so much, just cutting a circle wasnt getting the job done. so far it shifts fine and dosnt hang up at all, im gonna check it a third time to be sure tho. it finally looks like a real car on the inside with the hurst on the floor lol
