Nice tank! Yeah, I need to get myself a Rick's as well. Saw them up close at a show here. Seem very well built.

Wayne, you must be getting pretty close to an update!

Chief here you go!
Well I did make a decision to change directions on the car a little bit. I think it will help me get it running by spring.
About a month ago I got a nice deal on a Ricks VaporWorks tank and a couple of months ago I picked up the rest of the Vintage air system for the car. Then for the past month I was getting prices on some major parts for the car. They were still a little out of reach at the time.( Which was the cheapest I could find. Thanks Dale ) Then I ordered some small parts and mentioned I was looking for this piece for the car and the dealer I was buying from gave me a killer deal that I couldn't refuse. So Monday I sent a payment for my new power plant for the Camaro.

Its a GM LSA4L85 connect and cruise crate drive train.

It come with the engine, trans, and controllers for both with converter and install kit for it. I sill need a front accessory drive. When I ordered the kit I also had them get me a ZL1 lid and a started for it. I'm in contact with C&R Racing They are making me a heat exchanger with one inch hose ends for the Stewart cooling pump I picked up online.
I'll be selling off the 454 and 6 speed kit and the Fast XFI 2.0 once my head stops spinning after this week of excitement.
I borrowed a car from a friend of mine with a stick and it was hell for me to drive with the nerve damage in my left leg, it was no fun and was tuff for me to control feathering the clutch. A slick 6 spd won't do me any good if its not fun to drive.
So that's where we are now. The dealer called and said GM has already released some of my parts to him, but he's waiting on all of them to ship so he can put them all in the crate to save any shipping on the extras I'm buying. He won't be in next week so I don't expect any updates from him until after Christmas oh yes my wife bought my Christmas present for me, a set of American Racing Headers for the swap 1-7/8 x3" stainless long tubes. It should go good with the 3" Magnaflow exhaust that's about 8 years old waiting to be put in.

Very nice, that does take a lot of the guess work outa getting everything to talk to each other and the correct PCM, etc.

Lookin for updates real soon!

:ups:
Wow Wayne that looks like quite a nice addition to the car. So thoughtful of your lovely bride to get you a little something for the car...

:G-Dub: :flag2:

Yea I think I'll keep her, besides after 39-11/12 years she'll get half the car !! lol.

Congrats Waynie,looks like a big Christmas form you.That's a great engine package for sure.

Glad I could at least help with the decision ;).
