Hey Wayne. Its just a stock LS3 TB. I did take a dremel to it first to clean up all the casting marks and smooth everything out before sending it out to be powder coated.

Figured I was due an update. Progress on the car has been a little slower than I want but some minor updates.

Purchased a few parts one of them being a set of Ring Brother's hood hinges. Absolute works of art. I cant wait to see them on the car.

I have mentioned that my motor was ordered will it came in a few months back. Thompson Motorsports 416ci LS3 Stroker with CNC LS3 heads and a nasty spec'd Cam Motion cam. I am expecting around 550 at the wheels all motor. On top of that it's setup for a 150 shot in case I want to add a little more fun down the road.

Couple more shots of the Intake, Throttle Body and Wegner Valve Covers together. The entire motor will be buttoned up with 12 point ARP bolts.

And last but not least on this update. A couple of quick photos of the radiator installed. I went with a powdercoated Autorad setup including their core support. I also opted to go with AN type connections for the radiator hoses that should provide a very clean look for the hoses once I start plumbing everything up.

Hopefully I will have more reasons to update soon. I have another big parts order going in soon for my Transmission, Wegner Front Accessory Drive, Headers, Fuel tank and Master Cylinder. This should give me everything I need to start plumbing for brake and fuel lines.

Great to see progress,very nice parts also:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very clean setup

Nice motor! I agree on the hinges beautiful pieces. I like those Wegner acc. Drives.

Car is coming along very nicely! Will continue to watch this build.

Thanks guys. I will finish it one of these days lol.... :G-Dub:

I would love to know where you purchased the Switches & Illuminating labels!

By the way beautiful build!

I agree... sweet build!

And I would also love to know where you got the switches and labels!

Thanks Guys. Switches were purchased from the link below. They offer all types of options. I want to say they will even do custom etching on the rockers if needed but I never pursued that route.
