just dropped the new to me big block into the altered, its a 468cu inch chevy that ran 9.55 in a full bodied car, so fingers crossed we might get low/mid 9s next year. Al Oconner (als gasser) is building a glide for us. Just need a new convertor,zoomies poss new parachute,and resite front motor mounts.Not the best piccs as took them with my phone.

Thanks for posting those pix Dave, i've found that standing on the other side of the room and looking at those photographs through the wrong end of a telescope, they are actually quite good.

In fact if I close one eye, they look even better.

That's the eye looking through the telescope.

Seriously though Dave, looks great! :thumbright:

Today we have been mostly making up the engine mounts and removing some of the unused crap on the chassis, picy is a bit dark but the engine is in and sitting on the front mounts, still got to finish the centre mounts and finish the welding, but it started to get to dark.

We have moved on a lot now, just got to fit & plumb the fuel system, finish the wiring. Pete is picking up the zoomie headers this week.We have a new team member James who is allready proving to be a valuable asset to the team.The embroidery for the shirts and jackets has been decided now (picky at bottom).We have been invited to show the car early in may and should be up and running by then. I will get some upto date piccs this weekend.

Great stuff mate. I bet you can't wait to mash the pedal in it now.

Although I have to say, I found it a little bit of a squeeze getting into it, and being a bit claustrophobic, I am glad its you driving it. :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:
