496 Stroker, T56 Magnum Install
 

Well the time had finally come to shoe-horn my engine and tranny in and let me tell ya it was tight!
We must have dropped the motor in twenty times before we had all the clearance issues resolved. its all good now. :)

Looks great. I also am going a 496 route. keep the pics coming. what headers are you going to run?

Thanks
Ive got Stainless Works headers that are made to work with the Unisteer rack n pinion steering. The headers are bent so only one shaft is used to go through the header to the steering rack. I put a header in and its a perfect fit. The headers also have 2 inch primary tubes so they will flow real good for the bigger cubed stroker.
Rodger at Speed Tech brought them in for me.

Here's a picture of the drivers side header. Lots of room with out the steering box there.

The engine looks sweet in there.

Great shot :thumbsup:

you should paint your mirrors :D other than that it looks real clean

Oh ya the mirror's will get painted. lol The car is headed back to the body shop for the final touch ups here in a month or so. Just wanted to get it running with the fender and hood back on first. Then its time for the final paint touch up's and a good cut polish.

Great lookking car and killer drive train set up too. Looking forward to the completed pictures. And the first drive report.:thumbsup:

Thanks Im getting excited now. The mechanical end of things is all most done. The rear brake lines need finishing and a little more wiring on the fans and stuff but it is real close to adding fluids and the first fire up.
I need some rims and rubber next.:thumbsup:

Have you picked out a set of wheels yet?

I think those Fogeline ZX3P's would look nice. They show them on their web site in black with a red outer lip. Im thinking satin black center with the hugger orange outer lip to match my car. Its hard to decide.

Those are REALLY nice wheels! Here is a thought, what about satin black center and lip with a hugger orange pinstripe and calipers to match? Just a thought...:cheers:

You bet Im open to suggestions. So you mean a polished lip with a orange pinstripe? That sounds cool do you have a picture of that? Im open to all suggestions on rims. I have done the calipers in orange and need a rim to set this build off. It's soooo tough to decide!

Not quite what I meant. A full black wheel, orange pinstripe and orange calipers. Just enoug orange in and around the wheel so it won't get "lost" in all that black mass.

Keep in mind your rotors will be behind the wheel and help it to stand out too.

Oh I got ya now. Thats a great idea thanks.
