WIP, but here's the latest of mine. LS3 w/ dual plane PFI setup. Still more clutter than I'd like. Going to switch to electric headlights and strongly considering ditching the hydroboost and power steering.
GMPP Aluminum 400 Block. AFR 180 Heads. Accel Intake and Gen 7 ECM. Vintage Air Belt. Banks Top Hat. Rayjay Turbo's. Exhaust Mainifolds Valve Covers and Oil Pan and all plumbing done in house.
From: I tend to be leery of any guy who doesn't own a chainsaw or a handgun.

Looking sweet, man. I got a couple of similar looking Rajays out in the garage (one on my C4 and one on my street rod pickup). They aren't as glamorous as the newer turbos, but they still do the job. I've put a lot of road course track miles on my C4, and even with the single turbo it gets the job done quite well.
Post a picture of that sitting in the car when you get it finished.
This Photo is probably 8 Years or so ago I really don't remember what I was doing this day. I have had the " Banks " set up in this car in one form or another since 1987. Back then it was an Iron Block and Head Blow threw carb made great HP just didn't run worth a darn. I parked the car for a Decade or Two and waited for technology to catch up. Letting an ECM run the show is the only way to go.
406, 511 4 bolt block, Eagle cast steel crank, SIR rods, KB pistons, Dart 200 Pro 1's, Comp full rollers, 292H Magnum cam, Ported Team G by me, 750 hp modded by me to about 780, 10.5 to 1......
I recently pulled the Mallory and went MSD. I have never dyno'd it, but it is patterned after a Canadian modified engine that we did years ago and should be knocking on 500 horsepower....it certainly feels like it......over 400 ft/lbs. torque from 3000 to 6000......very simple combination.

A dozen year old picture from when I was updating the engine. I've since removed a few hundred pounds elsewhere off the car, and recently put the lighter Muncie back in as I didn't need the additional gearing from the 5 speed.

I'm still surprised you don't have to chain your car down to the floor or something to keep it from just floating up to the garage ceiling
