Good to see someone who isn't worried about keeping his Vette numbers matching and slower than a garabge truck!!! :D

Engine transplant...don't go 1/2 way. Don't compromise. Don't be "just another Vette with a crate motor". Don't be just another unsatisfied crate engine installer in constant search of more power.

GO BIG BLOCK!!

Please do, I looks good. I love the Candy Brandy Wine color too but it apparently takes a real good painter to make it look right and I dont know that I have $5000 for a paint job. So something close will do nicly :yesnod:
