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!!!

Will this need an SVA?

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!!!

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?

no updates as yet, on with outer panels will post on the amd stuff later,

wont need a sva just normal mot, have to wait and see what dvla says about engine swap, by that time there may be even more rulings come out

will do most of engine fab work myself, except machining, looking at keeping the 727, seen this kit available

Wow!

That is a nice kit of parts.

I like the "shorty" overdrive tailshaft too.
