She's almost ready to be dropped in with a few things here and there that still have to be done.

Well, here she is in all here glory. Enjoy!

- GMPP ZZ4 shortblock
- 10:1 CR
- Lingenfelter 74219 roller cam
- Dart Pro1 aluminum 200cc heads 64cc

- Hamburgers L98 oil pan
- Melling M55a oil pump
- Cloyes billet roller timing set
- 6.25" Fluidamper
- Powermaster XS mini starter
- Edelbrock l98 waterpump
