Also would consider an LS3 with low profile supercharger to avoid hood fitment issues. Let me know if you would share your experience with these secondary fitment issues
Thanks

What happened to the 69 LS7 build? Wasn't it in paint late last year?

OMG the 69 it's still in paint, should be sprayed in the next week or 2, it's been in paint for a year now, there's only 1 paint and body guy (who is excellent) at the shop and he keeps getting pulled off my car for other small projects.
I've just started a 67 now leaning toward a RS fast track chassis with an LS9. Currently discussing fitment with Roadster shop, as always issues and compromise w/ engine clearance, FEAD systems, track width, tire, wheel size and set back
