Time for the fun part of this build!!! How about a power plant, tranny, and wheels......Well a LS-3,,,just out of the crate would be nice (430 HP), with a new Comp Cams cam to add a little more Ump, (might get this engine up to 500 HP with a good tune). Also added new valve springs, retainers, and push rods,,,, a new T-56 Magnum 6 speed,,,,and a RAM twin disc clutch and pressure plate,,,, Budnik Wheels, (18 x 10 front, 20 x 15 rear) and Micky Thompson Sportsman Radial tires (18 x 11 1/2 front, and 20 x 18 rear), should be plenty to hug and grip the road. My next quest is to make sure the body will fit the frame,,,,,pictures coming

Looks good. I was gonna say it looks like a Mock frame.

Vince, No It is not a Mock frame but it does have a lot of Scott's (VRP) innovation's built it to it. I have known Scott for over 30 years and he has help me build several projects. From a 2000 F-450 make over, a 48 foot gooseneck trailer, 190 inch front engine dragster, he has helped me out a lot. I have seen the cars he has built, and the one he helped his son Kevin build,,,,they are all fast.....and on a budget.....Hoping some of that VRP
magic, safety and engineering rubs off on this build, I know Scott at VRP will not steer me wrong!!!!

I decided to add a little more horse power to my project. I purchased a Harrop HH122 supercharger. It supercharger was set up for LS-6, so I decided to change it over to work on a LS-3. I also decided to update the supercharger while I had it apart. Name: 20140108_160557 (1025x769).jpg

That's going to be a lot of fun!

Had to take the supercharger apart, 1. separated the blower for the manifold, 2. take out the cooling radiators to clean and install new fittings, 3. Take all parts off of the superchargers, and replace, 4. take rotors out, check for damage, (none), 5. check for clearance, new bearings, put back together, check clearances again, 6. replace all external bearings, 7. replace all O-rings and seals, 8, put blower and manifold, (the new LS-3 manifold), back together,,,,,done
