So one (of many) decisions has been made today. Going to go with an LS block. Will be forced induction as well. I have yet to decide if it will be a 427 LS7 motor or a 454 LSX motor, turbo or blower.
WILL be a manual and will have rear independence suspension.
Today I made arrangements for the shipping company to pick up so probably 2 - 3 weeks until it is here. I elected NOT to buy the C6 ZO6 rolling chassis on Ebay. I figured I would need to rebuild the engine and upgrade the tranny anyway
My builder is a BRILLIANT guy... he is an engineer by training. Igor Braderic of Superior Motorsports in Surrey BC. He will be working on chassis drawings and some rendering over the next few weeks.
This will probably be a LONG build though. My first goal is to have it finished by my 50th... Sept 14 2014 but if that is not viable then by April 2015.
Iggy, my builder, tells me the first decision needs to be wheels. So.... that is the next decision I need to make.
Wish me luck. :-)
