Did you narrow it yourself? Do you buy shorter axles or mod the ones you have. Build looks awesome.

Looking good. Is that a 351 Cleveland and a SB C6? I've got the same setup in the garage just waiting for a project car.

Yea i narrow the rears myself i have a fixture i always buy new axles these were just cut and welded together so i can roll it around.....and thats no 351 its a 460 BB that will probably be punched out to 528ci or something like that. thanks for the comments...
