I have not had any time to put towards the '68. Orders are pilling up with the new Sharkbar. I'm currently getting ready to paint the frame. I just finish rebuilting the rear end. I still need to find the right cam combination.
I have to give you credit. You are one of the few that started out with a bare bones LS1 and built it. Good job!! What are your thoughts with the LS1 compared to the TPI?
I sent the graphic (LS1) I received from Jeff and sent them to my Sticker guy. I hope to get them back in a couple of weeks.
I did get to drive a customers Yellow 2006 Z06 2 week ago. WOW!! What a awesome Vette. GM really did an excellent job. I wish I could afford one.

Compared to the tpi ,less torquey feel,but a smooth power curve .The tpi died up top but the ls1 just keeps pulling and alot after 3500 rpm.I was o used ot the torque the tpi had its gone to take some time getting used to the ls1 but i like it so far.
