Rich,
You have one hell of a suspension and brake combo...what power plant are you going to run?

Thanks Guys- Dse did build the rear and it is the satin finish, although it looks more like a low gloss finish to me, I guess it depends how you define satin.

Going with an LS engine, struggling with choices but Im leaning towards the LS7 maybe an LS3 with a maggy, I want 500/500 at the rear wheels and want it to be extremely driveable/reliable. I really dont want to deal with the dry sump but if I have to so be it. Ive been getting estimates on 427 cuin. Ls engines using the ls7 block and heads/re-sleeved ls2 blocks in a wet sump application but the cost is about the same as an off the shelf GM crate ls7. I really like the idea of keeping the weight low over the nose usiing the alluminum block, should make for a well handling car.

Is the rear Wilwood kit using the W4A Caliper? If so where are you getting the kit, I haven't found a rear 14.25" rear with the W4A?
Everything looks like top notch parts, looks fun!

Man that is AWESOME!!!!

I want to do the same set-up when I am ready to do my build as well.
LS7 sounds AWESOME, but we all know how expensive they are. A LS3 with the hotcam and some nice KOOKS headers should get you close up there for horses.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Thought you guys might like to check out the new Wilwood W6A big brake kit with 14.25" rotors. This may be the first kit installed on a DSE frame, Frank at Prodigy put the kit together and it went together nicely. Im waiting for the left side caliper to complete it, but got the right side done for some pics. We set it up with 14 inch rotors on the rear and the 4 piston superlites, I dont think a W4A kit is available yet, Frank can probably shed some light on that subject. Overall Im very happy with the hardware so far, next stop is some Forglines and toyo r888s, I can't wait to see them, I will keep you posted.
