It is a column shift which is good for the sleeper look. I may change out to a floor shift but not at this time. I like this car because just about all the cosmetic things are already done. It is Mini Tubbed and the frame is Tied too. The battery is already in the trunk.

The plan is to swap out the Stockish 340 with a different Engine in a shortest amount of time as possible, shooting for a 1 weekend transplant.

Awesome job with that 340 swap dude! :toothy10:

But seriously...awesome work, car is a totally different animal and kick-*** compared to when you got it.

Now it's time to :burnout:

Lol..... Yeah how can I forget. I still have scars to the bone! haaaa

It truly has been a long road for me. Seems it has morphed into a full time job.

While it is running and I am having fun with it. I will be buying parts to up the compression from 9:1 to 13:1 or so. The heads will get ported by Brian at IMM or possibly new ones and a NEW Big Dogggg Solid Roller will be installed with E85 on the menu. At the same time I will be working on the Peak dash that I have on my bench, buying gauges and getting it all wired up & Ready to drop in.
