A few updates:
Lots of parts in the shop now…
The wiring so far was a big job

Got a handle on it. I removed the dash and all the wiring and got it prepped for the 8.5 gage. The front will be added to my existing 6 point roll bar.

Here is my choice of ignition system…Trigger wheel and digital 7

I did the wiring tuck and have verified everything works except head lights. All the wires are tucked in the fender and headlight wires tucked in core support.

Picked up some new seats.

Got the fuel cell.

The fuel pump and regulator. Decided on the Aeromotive pro regulator and the magnafuel Pro star 500 with internal bypass and internal filter

Got the battery box powder coated and a few other braces too. This will match the fuel cell and eventual NOS black bottle.

New fans and shroud

Small single wire denso style 85 amp alt with custombracket for big block.

Only one person could pull this off. Big thanks to Alan at Speed of Sound for all the custom work on my console. Can’t wait to see this in my car.

Got the new tranny in today. Reid case, fully rollerized, turbo shaft, SFI certified bell and case means no blanket / diapers / shields. 10 clutch set up with pro tree trans brake should hold 2000 hp.

coming along nicely. Alan did a great job on that center piece for the switch panel. I forgot, did you go with a 9 inch also or did you stick with the 8.8?

Hey "big money!"... no, I had to stick with my beefed up 8.8 with 9" ends. Keep you garage locked..LOL....... J/K

If I ever add nitrous I may upgrade...

Well some updates to report. Still don’t have the engine…Waiting for a few supporting mods so I just the engine builder to hold on. I think everything is in place now to have the engine dyno session done on Thurs.
I have made some progress but its been slow. Kidney stones will do that to ya.
