I am not too familiar with the ZF8HP trans but quickly looking up some info on it, it seems like the bell housing has a different bolt pattern. If that is the case, keeping things a bit on the simple end so we don't need to have any additional spacers to have the fitment we need.

The combo does seem fairly popular with swaps though. Might be something we consider for the next one.

Apologies in advance for thread-jacking, but I had to look up that '71 Camaro on your website. That thing is gorgeous!

May I ask which blue that is? I have a dream in my head of a blue early second-gen I'd love to do after I win the lottery, and your blue looks close.

Can't wait to see this '69 progress too!

No worries!

The color for that Camaro is a custom Paint House color mix but the closest shelf color they will have to it is going to be Super Blue.

Very clean, the intake and valve covers set it off. What front drive do you guys have planned?

Thank you!

Looking at the Holley and Eddie Motorsports versions. Still taking a look at those options to see where we might go with it.
