Anything else I may not need


Right now I'm in decision mode of
what carb to go?
What trans?
Whether or not if I am going to FI off the start or just a progressive shot?

I just ordered the bearing and seal kit for the engine.
Hoping by August she will be ready n going.

if your looking to go FI with it at some point and want to stay with an auto trans, then i would say go with a 4l80e with a transgo kit

6 speeds rock that's my vote

6 speeds rock that's my vote

i agree, but figured since the car was originally an auto, he would want to go that route

If its a track car only go auto if it's a street/strip car go 6 speed there awesome on the streets and you have more control of the car good luck either way and the look on people's faces when you open the hood will be priceless
