That is a hell of a motor. Dart block, huge canfield heads, carb intake converted for fi... I don't think that is going into anything for now.

It's over 500 cubes. I don't remember exactly.

The exhaust is all hooked up. BBK ceramic coated long tubes, bbk 2.5" h pipe, an the flowmasters I already had. The h pipe was almost 2" off. We had to cut and weld in a connector. Joints weren't a great fit either.
Here's to hoping I don't have leaks.

I plan on it and already have the mufflers, but it'll have to wait for an upgrade. For now 2.5 was easier.

The motor ran yesterday. I'll try to post the vid later.

My problem right now is the wheels are way too far forward. They are 3/4" from the front of the wheel well with the wheels streight. I can't turn the wheels at all without hitting. No amount of fender trimming will fix it.

I'm planning on trying offset a-arm bushings and mm cc plates to move the wheels back. I should get a half inch back and go from there. I hope.

I saw I could get adjustable arms, but I wasn't planning on going coilover.

Has anyone successfully dealt with this issue?
