I am just trying to keep quiet on this one, I am just in shock still.

Far from it. Been modifying muscle cars since the day we opened in 2002. We are open minded to try anything different. I'll start another thread later showing our previous projects.

I'm doing something similar, but replacing an old OHC 6 with a DOHC 4V inline 6. The basis for my swap is the Vortec 4200, which is akin to a long-stroke/large bore EcoTec. The engine that inspired me to do this swap made 1365hp with a GT47R. I'm going for streetability using a GT42R. I plan to run the living piss out of this at any event or track that I can, so I started with the chassis first.

Here's an older pic with the mock-up engine in place & modified front frame:

That's the money shot right there, great looking car, great stance.

I agree with everyone else's take on the exhaust, looks like a Pep Boys bolt on, totally takes away from the level at which this car was built.

How much does it weigh? Had it to the strip yet?

Well the tips are cheap thats for sure. Full stainless steel. Anyhow I'm listening to people's opinion. I'm exploring other alternatives to change the exhaust outlet style.

Haven't weight it yet. My guess is around 3,500lbs. Haven't taken it to the strip yet. Plenty of freeway pulls against sport bikes and cars, its proven itself there! lol

not sure how anyone could say it "looks" like it was designed by a tuner ... no crazy exterior mods, tasteful wheels (I don't love the black set but the others are killer), killer stance. I think the two tone seats are possibly the only thing that says tuner to me, but other wise, not even in the slightest way. If you hadn't told anyone what powered it and didn't show that exhaust, all you'd have heard was praise. It's hard to say what's going to happen with energy and fuel and I'm sure it hasn't had much effect on people with money but it's going to start having at least some impact on this business some day, so I'm open to different ideas. Plus, a six banger may sound different but they can sound bad ass. Would love to hear this one.

the only things that i think are out of place and don't really match the overall look of the car are the chrome trim and bumpers. with the modernized interior and big wheels the chrome bumpers look kinda "tacked on" and arbitrary.... doesn't really match the modern look i guess.

i think the car would look a lot cooler without the bumpers, and maybe a boom tube or something out the side. other than that i think it's pretty cool... just not my style.

wow i totally like the untouched exterior, with the retained chrome and base trim... love that it still has locks and handles and isnt full of cage or cluttering... the stance is right on and if the exhaust had been "integrated" in the look just alittle more... or flowed with the lines i would have loved that too..

i like the nascar boom box exhaust idea..

and if i gut my maddress and find a pile of cash i would take it as it sat right there...

[ArisESQ]

yea, i like the mostly untouched exterior too. i don't think removing the bumpers would be taking away from that, but it would certainly modernize the car enough to match the interior and wheels more.

i'm not suggesting he shave the handles and remove all the window trim. maybe instead of chrome window trim, make it look more like brushed aluminum looking, and just ditch the front bumper.... and maybe replace the mirrors with second gen style mirrors.
i personally think that would look a lot better.

We are listening. We like the idea of the bumper removal, however the problem is that this car has a huge front mount intercooler. With the front bumper removed it exposes the bottom part of the intercooler that comes out a little of the two open air dams. That makes it look funny. We could try painting the bottom part of the intercooler black so it isn't so obvious though. Most of the '67-'68s without the front bumpers don't have this FMIC so they look good without it. Still researching ideas to redo the exhaust tips.

Thanks! Is there better pictures of the exhaust/tip your talking about. I can't figure it out from that picture.
