    I bought this car last October with the intention of putting my small block pt101 setup in it.. Well, that's changed a little... I ended up acquiring a 555 Big Chief that was gonna go in my buddy's turbo Impala.

    It looks like you are going to have another monster on your hands. :2thumbs:

    What kind of racing do you plan on doing with the car?

    Good Luck with the build!

    Oh your gonna love those collectors. A little harder to fit because they are close toleranced, but worth it when time to weld. It's nice and consistent when you weld them.

    Thanks man... As far as racing, it'll be an outlaw 10.5 car I guess.. With the combo of crap that I'm running, it's pretty much gonna be illegal in every other class.. lol..

    Your car is looking super professional man! You should be very proud! :)

    That car is super nice. Let me know if you ever run in Abilene, there dont seem to be any turbo cars running out there, at least the last few times Ive been. I hope to have mine out there next month.

    Can you give me any info on the Steering rack? I am looking to do the same thing to my 70 Camaro.

    TRZ sells a good kit from column to rack fully complete. It's pretty much the same as the kit that's in my car, exept for the billet bracket on mine.

    Scroll down on this page: http://www.trzmotorsports.com/318.html

    It's going back blue with the stripes.. As soon as I get the hot-side to the turbo kit done, Steven's gonna let loose on it... 8)

    I got the first header constructed outta 2.25" stainless... The badass headers that came with this engine are just too wide, so I gotta build some.. I'd be done with this header, but I ran outta Argon!!! As I go I'm getting better with the TIG welder... I'm using a Diversion 165 that I picked up.. It does an alright job!
