This has been a long slow project and I finally got it going short of two weeks ago. It is a fairly built engine and I am using a 4L60E trans with it. The setup is a mess of different years and carlines of parts but overall came out clean and runs great with torque all over the place. The car has 3.73 gears and the engine has a very broad powerband. Traction will be the next obstacle since my drag radials are over 3 years old and have been sitting for 2. I need to get new tires but probably wont get them till next year when the season is fresh. I am planning on going to IDD this friday and hopefully Norwalk will treat me well. If you are going and want to see different then this car is it! It was a lot of work and fabricating but I like to be different. I will probably be doing these swaps but they are very involving and expensive. My next plan is to find a cheap mid 90s f-body with a 3800 and do an L67 swap in that, but that wont be any time in the near future unless there is interest in someone wanting a swap in one. Anyways I hope Norwalk turns out good for me and everyone else who is going.

Good to hear it was a success! We do need pics though.
Congrats on getting it up and running! Any track time goals or anything? Or basically just for fun, and whatever it runs it runs???

Here is the one pic I have of the engine bay on this computer. The car will be at IDD to check out and pics dont show half the work that went into this swap.
