Few new pictures, temp mounted the GSS 8.8" rear end. Need to replace the trailing arms, and some other odds and ends also this is with RB springs. (going to have adjustable springs but this was just to get the car rolling and on the ground)
Car is being trailered to it's nearby winter storage location. A full sized garage to itself, this winter I plan on getting ALOT done!
Also note that the rear brakes aren't installed yet, have to pull the axles out in order to install them... Another winter project.

Good work man, really impressive stuff. You going to be taking this thing to autox's or drag strips? Or is it going to be a dd thats taking up three parking stops in the farthest reachs of a parking lot?

Hmmm, well the car is basically setup to be a very fast street car. But it will be excellent for drag, and would be interesting to try out at an auto-x. I am going to be using it as my evening/weekend car, I have a truck that I can drive daily.
Problem with this car is it basically can't be left anywhere because of theft and vandalism...

Im going to go out on a limb and say that those are bfgoodrich tires? At any rate, those things are sure to grip good, and with the suspension and brake upgrades, not to mention engine, that car would kill an autocross.

Couple updates:
Radiator, powdercoated pullies, gas tank modified for intank setup, dual walbro 255lph fuel pumps (thanks Sam (dj55b) and Scott (Trochoid))
Note these things are basically just mocked up at this point to see how the fitment is.
Mounted the LT10S (thanks again Robert! (Rotaryshack))
Rear end in position, need to get heim links (trailing arms and watts linkage)
Here is how I have my glovebox setup right now, ignore how the knock sensor display is crooked. Going to setup switches to the left of the knock sensor display for electrical odds and ends.
