Last I heard he was looking at a 1st Gen F-body to put the BB in. He was going to take the 'vette back to stock (or at least mostly stock.)

The last thing that I remember that - after initially thinking in putting the engine in the Camaro - he decided to put it in the Vette...

Would like to know what the latest on his project...

Where did he go
I haven't been to Pittsburgh Raceway Park yet this year for test-n-tune sessions;
I think they've been rained-out more than half of the Wed/Fri sessions to-date.
I may try going soon, and I'll keep an eye open for him...

I got a few e-mails from him a while back. He's been pretty busy with personal stuff but he's still working on Vette. He's re-arranging the engine combo again with different heads and cam, but I think he's going to play with 454 for a while longer and then move up later on. He's been toying with BIG motors, but I think Norval has him in love with blowers too! So I think a BIG motor WITH boost is the proper answer!

I haven't heard from him for about a month but he did have a beautiful girlfriend name Robyn. If she was my girlfriend you guys could keep your cars. She was stunning/beautiful.
Stick with the girls Shane and forget the car.

Try a blower on that motor of yours 427Hotrod and you too will never go back.
