a couple of thoughts, hopefully they are welcomed-
- maybe remove the BMW logos on the engine and replace with Pontiac logos/ paint with Pontiac blue for an homage.
- I took the liberty of quickly photoshopping somebody's 'bird pic I pulled from the web and made a single scoop 400 hood with it- thinking of those euro/ japanese cars with an asymmetrical scoop intake. Maybe make a modified OHC 6 emblem with the BMW engine displacement on it. Or maybe don't do this, ha ha ha

Phase 2 will likely include a supercharger. They make some nice kits that will get it over 500hp (Active Autowerke, ESS Tuning, etc). First priority is to start driving and hear this thing at 8000 rpm!
The engine block will definitely be Pontiac Blue - just need to check how much you will see. I'm not planning to show any BMW logos underhood if possible.
I have a repop 69 T/A hood that I'll be using - will definately chew on the single scoop idea. I hadn't previously thought of that. Let's see how my sheet metal skills develop between now and then!
Thanks for the input - it's always welcome as long as it doesn't involve someone telling me it's a bad idea!
