I've dreamt of this day...

[WSSix]

Congrats on test driving the car, Ron. It's always a great day when that happens. Any time I fire up a car after a swap or major overhaul, I get all giddy and nervous like the first time I did it back as a teenager. Fun times. Good luck with the rest of it.

[Lenie]

[Greg from Aus]

Congrats Ron, awesome to see it alive.

WOW! Great day. Very happy for you, that thing sounds awesome. Got a ask what cam your running, most ls7s don't have that hot rod lope at idle. Mine is the katech torquer, ground on a 110 with a bunch of overlap, did you use something similar. Curious what the centers are on yours. Really awesome Ron! loved listening to it on that third vid.


Great job- Rich

Ron, What are your 1st through 6th ratios and your rear tire diameter? I'll be running a GTO T56 in mine with the 2.97 first gear and was thinking about rear end gearing myself. I traded the old 1970's truck SBC that came in mine for a 12 bolt posi that I haven't bothered checking the gears in yet. Anyway, I was thinking 3.73 or so would be about right for me.

You should've had the camera pointed at the passengers, would have liked to see the expressions on your faces.
