We are getting real close to completing our end of the build on the Torino. Trying to finish up the twin turbo Camaro for SEMA got in the way of progress along with a big push to get the Fairlane ready for paint and another 2 projects completed in the final metal stages.

Rob has been patient and a good guy to work with, despite his choice in cars or motors. Rob's chassis should be back from powder coating any day now. Then it gets assembled and off to Cali. I'll post a few pics up when it arrives.

Rob how does the engine sit now in relation to how it sat in the original frame? Same? Up and forward? Back and lower? What are your plans for headers? Thanks

Back and a little lower, nothing drastic since my firewall remained stock.

Blair Patrick has used the same header guy for 15+ years. He's in AZ. I'm going to have him build my headers. Same primary sizes and collector design we ran on the dyno.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

As long as you keep my car safely away from those LS motors you guys are all right No need to defend yourself on my thread, my build experience with RS has been great
