Looks like a very nicely done conversion, not a hatchet job at all. That 5.7 looks at home there, especially when it's topped by the Mercedes air cleaner assembly.

Same thought- I could do without those rims but otherwise looks like a cool car.

I've seen someone stuff a MB V-8 into one before.

Digression, but that garage is dying to expand into the hill. All you need is a cut, retaining wall and new stairs.

That does look like a nice fit. Doesn't even appear that it will be hard to replace the pick up coil when it takes a dump. I don't like the R4 though, too much noise.

R4 is the tbi firing order versus the lsx one?

No, the R4 is the a/c compressor. Wonder how well it works with an expansion valve.

i really like it. However, I has a question. Why is it that nearly every ad to sell a big project car, is always just ever so slightly after the completion?

Is it that some people like building more than driving, or is it that the finished cars never meet expectation??
