    but I am slowly trying to get back in the swing of things. I haven't had the time to even look at the car much. The engine has been back to me for over a year and I am just sitting it in the frame rails. My oldest son (14) is in high school now playing soccer, my daughter at 8 years old played soccer this summer and they went 8-0 and my youngest son at 6 years old played his first year of full contact football and they went 10-0 winning the county championship and President's Cup (Super Bowl). Of course I was parent/coaching and running all over the county to see my oldest play in high school as well.

    Sooooo, I just recently made myself install the engine thus far in the stock motor mount locations on the K-member. Next will to have the tubular front end constructed and then do a motorplate. After that, fab the turbo kit up and go from there. This is my brand new 427 that is almost a carbon copy of my friend Randy that went 4.90's this ending season but he was using a 94mm single whereas I will use twin 76mm units and possibly 88mm's later on. Hoping to have fire in the whole sometime this spring.
