What an awesome list of parts and a very fine looking car. It should absolutely fly!
I would be very careful with that rear as the others have stated. You have the power to EASILY snap shafts with the flick of your foot.
Do you have plans to run it at the strip? I would like to know what it runs.
If I were rich I would probably have about the same list of mods as you. I do have the Mexican block already but the stroker, and supercharger will be down the road. Aluminum heads is what I am shopping for now.

Hey everyone, total newbie here : thanks for an awesome forum!

I actually registered on this forum to search out a Paxton / Holley 950 Commander TBI for a 289 setup and ended up on this thread... So you've done it !?!
Can you humor a few questions ? :
- is it the Novi 1200 meant for carb'ed cars, but without the carb enclosure?
- what size pulleys are you running?
- obviously, the TBI didn't need the enclosure (at least I don't see it on your engine), so where did you mount the MAP ?
- how hard was / is it tu tune ?
Thanks in advance for any and all answers! Don't worry: I won't be copying your car, and even if I did, I live across the Atlantic...
Great car, good luck with it!
- peace

The 8" "MIGHT" live for a while if you don't do any hard launches or put traction bars or slicks on it. Get her rollin good then open her up, and back off a bit during shifts (you may have to do all of that anyhow due to wheelspin). That wheelspin may save your 8, of course if you ever hook up...look out! Do you have a driveshaft loop?
