What kind fittings/clamps are those where the braided line meets hard line?

Dave's car had me at the Ford stripes, but this one keeps pulling me back in with its aluminum block, short(er) stroke goodness, not to mention all the Brown and Miller stuff!

Nice Bro Truck! Hahah.

Where the skulls done by a previous owner?

That truck doesn't look like it will fit in your garage - my Duramax 2500 barely fits in mine.

Love the updates to the Camaro - we going to get a chance to see engine dyno vids anytime soon? What kind of EFI are you using - the TB based Holley unit?

[Payton King]

Yes, all the custom work was done by the previous owner. Frank Garcia, who was the center for the Carolina Panthers.

No way is that truck fitting in my garage. Top of the roof is 7'2"

Pistons and rings just came in so all I need is head studs and a cam. Motor vids are a few months away. Have not decided on an injection system, either AEM or Holley. May have a line on a throttle body off of an RO7.

What amazes me is I will be running an LS firing order and we called Comp cams. They have 50mm, SB2 cam blanks with an LS firing order sitting on the shelf. Just need to come up with specs to have it ground.

Very cool build! I've been following this for quite a while, just haven't commented yet.

Is the LS firing order the same thing as a 4-7 swap for a 1st Gen SBC? If that's the case, it doesn't shock me that they have the blanks on the shelf. It's pretty common for race engines, both SBC and BBC.

On edit: I see it's not the same. It's a 4-7 and 2-3 swap relative to the 1st Gen engines. That is interesting the blanks were on the shelf.

[Payton King]

I was doing it mostly for the type of electtonics I was originally going to run, but later found out it is good for about 5 HP. Not that I need 5 more HP but all the serious guys do. I think the RO7 runs that same order.
