There are several one off parts through out the build.... some are obvious, most are not. Heck I forget half the time all the changes I made.

Oh I don't know about that

it sure looks like it may be in the running

I figure it all hinges on the paint work and color (granite pearl...not honda's version). Hopefully the car will be done sometime in Febuary-ish.

Dash will look good when it's all done. Whats the plans for finish on it? paint or powder or Ano?

I'm thinking Matte Black for the aluminum gauge face and body color for the frame my new dash pad is black, the Custom console will have the same color combo same with the steel package tray.

Very nice build. I really like the fact that you're using the 'LA" block.

Great revving motors. Can't wait to see more as the build progresses.

What heads are you using on the motor (I am asking because I had the W2 heads on mine) and yours in the pic look like the original style exhaust ports.

Thanks,
I am using Edelbrock Performer RPM that have been bowl blended by Compu-flow, the supplied edelbrock springs have been swapped out in place of a set of Comp Cams set to match the cam and also went to a 10 degree lock in place of edelbrocks 7 degree.

Well, I decided to open up the AAR style scoop and change the front lip design, it not completed yet but here is some progress pics. the original opening was 1.25" and the new one is going to be 3". I also made the motor mount extensions, there .500" thick and with a 1.5" dia bushing I should have the timing cover done in a few more weeks. Also test fit the holes for my shock tower coil over supports
