Thanks. Frustrating long story. I had to pull the car from the body shop that was working on the car. Finally heading to a new shop in 10 days that will knock it out. Meanwhile finishing up the remaining chassis work. New engine arrives next week. I did finally get the ZZ572 back from the engine shop...800hp on pump gas (solid roller, CamMotion cam w/ LS firing order, AFR 335cnc heads, 105mm Accufab TB, etc.) but change of plans as it is going into a '70 Chevelle.
