Looks great! I love the rim choice. I also prefer the longer lug nuts. I'm glad to see you keeping the SBC. What are the plans for it or is it done?

The current small block had a mild rebuild a bit ago. Running plenty of cam, ported and polished heads with smaller combustion chambers, and some 1.6 rockers that were originally installed long before I owned the car. I may install some more modern roller tipped rockers before I put it all back together.

I have made a decision to yank the intake I already installed to swap it for a Holley HP EFI multipoint setup.

Long term, I am contemplating either an LS swap or putting SB2.2 heads on a Gen I small block to make a high RPM screamer.

IN RE to the lug nuts, I like the longer ones too. I am leaning towards them, except I wish they were bulge seat. I might make my own...

Sounds like a good plan. There are a couple SB2s on this site. Preston and Dave(Flash68). The LS engines are great. There is no denying that fact. I just like seeing people building the older engines up. I'm seriously contemplating building my LT1. I'll keep it simple though since I'm not looking to break the bank or make ridiculous power. Keep up the good work

HA. Yeah, it sure is. GT Wagon with a manual trans at that.

She is my daily for now. I am likely going to get a truck soon and turn the Legacy into a bit more of a toy. The engine has 150K miles on it and I would like to build a new one for her and shoot for around 400 to the wheels.

This one:

Someone over at Pro-Touring.com loans it out for a very small fee.

Nick,

Do you know if the 18" wheels will clear c6 z06 brakes? Looks like you have Wilwood brakes up front.
