    Drip rails don't bother me. Maybe when I get all my sons through college, I'll really go wild on rebuilding my brick. For now... I'm more concerned with go rather than show. ;-)

    Good start, and GOOD LUCK!

    Thanks! I meant to order a personalized plate with "1badc10" on it, but slipped my brain, and paid the registration on the existing plate dad received in '86. Guess I really couldn't part with the plate since it is 22 years old.

    Nope, reverse flow was only the late model LT1 engines.

    Just a little update nothing that big.

    Ordered
    S&P headers
    motor mount inserts
    Sent off the the harness for reworking and ecu for reprograming.

    This past sunday I got to a whole bunch of little things that needed to get done. I sorted through the current wire harness. I also mocked up the trans support. Installed the new brackets for the motor mounts.
