very cool build cant wait to hear it run.

 

It gets done when it gets done

 

8pt

me too haha

yea...this is my thought process at the moment..i just finished my 2yrs at a community college, now im steppng up to a university to finish my degree, so the cost is all going up...ive only got a few more major things to pick up, ide say it will be running by hopefully april, but im not sure its hitting the streets...ill still need to get the driveshaft shortened, and get new tires and all kinds of little stuff that all ads up...i dropped $300 today to buy some riding gear so i dont die on my street bike lol, there goes half my fuel system...if all goes as planned though, ill be ordering the fuel system as soon as the cage is done, then when tax return hits ill order my radiator...then she should be good to go minus the rest of my exuast, driveshaft, and tires...not going to rush it...it'll get done eventually, and when it does it will be worth it!!

 

Exactly, rushing now will only lead to things you have to fix in the future. Take your time and do it the right way the first time.

 

little more glassing and sanding to be done before paint...and yes, both sides are boxed and glassed, i only took pics of one side though




finally ordered my fuel system




most of the system is already plumbed....once the engine bay is done, it should be going right together....not including chassis work, but the drivetrain needs to be in it for that anyways

going to get it running on a v6 radiator and fan, just to get the engine broke in so i can put in my other valve springs....ill upgrade to an aluminum and dual electric fans with my income tax...mainly focused on firing it up...the rest will fall into play little by little

hopefully we get to hear it run within the next month or so...not gonna get my hopes up, but thats the goal...ran outta glass so thats going to be a big hang up also. who knows how long it will take to get this time

 

glad to hear its comin together! and wasn't this thread closed for awile or something??

 

yea, due to mysterious reason....but HRnB and Lizzy got it opened back up for me, so were all good

 

 

Hey man, what made you decide to do a swap with a 460? I'm trying to come up with a build plan for my car and I can't make up my damn mind on what I want to do to it!

 

I forgot to mention, I think it is AWESOME what you are doing to the car, I can't wait to see/hear about it when its done bro... Not to be redundant, as it probably was already covered in the thread but what are your goals power wise?
