I am in kind of the same boat right now, some health (shoulders) and logistics are keeping me from doing much for the next month or two but I should be able to get back on it soon.:cheers:

Shouldnt stop you from hanging out in my garage drinking some beers while I put my motor back together. Waiting for a few checks to come in, then it's a shopping spree at summit!

My buddy has one in a 240sx putting almost 700hp to the wheels.

I figure either people will love it or hate it, personally im kinda in the middle. I grew up with family members that loved hotrods but I am young so the whole rice rocket thing was cool at one point. I figured what the hell! the best part will be when I chop the front end off and convert the thing to AWD. Should be a one of a kind car, what do you think? 69 AWD Chevelle with an RB26?

:lol: I get it! But at least you have slave masters. A lot of guys don't anymore. Let me know when you want to do something. Even a trip to the range to kill some Barney targets.:thumbsup:

Yeah baby--that's what I'm talking about---thing sounds healthy!

I will say that the ver 1 of the SBC "sounds" so much better than the LS motors--now I have no idea why that is, but at the first and second Optima shootout for example, there were quite a few guys commenting about this very thing---maybe there is less overlap on the cams for the LS motors because head flow is superior, who knows---but I think you made a great point, if you already have the stuff, it makes sense to use it--- you can put the money towards making the car handle instead.
