Keith - I'll say it again, very nice job!
The car is beautiful and appears well finished. What did you do for an exhaust? Can you quiet down the V8 given the limited space for mufflers?
I spoke with Rod Simpson some time back concerning the use of an aluminum block. When I first put my car together I seriously contemplated a V8 swap and was looking for an aluminum block. They were running around $5500 in long block form. Rod said there was absolutely no need to use the expensive block. He did one for a customer that resulted in a tire frying beast. As you stated, the weight bias is no different than that of a 930. I would really like to go for a ride in one of these cars. Got to find someone in my area that has one.
