Any more updates Paul

After speaking to you I know you have the expertise and experience from your Porsche racing to put this motor together.

Really looking forward to seeing it

True work of Mopar ART!!! :thumbright:

Will this need an SVA? :D

Some folks are even worried about doing engine swaps with all the DVLA Bananarama!!
Best to fake up some factory drawings to say this was Dealership upgrade in 1970 LOL!!! :D :D :D

If Mother Mopar had this technology in '70', we wolud have WON all the Trans-Am's!

Keep up the good work.
What trans you gonna use?
Who's building da MOTOR???
I think Turnip wants one TOOO!

Baaca, no sheep till Brooklyn?
