I think you're going to have a beast. I'm glad that it can drown out a Harley. They sound like crap compared to a good SBC anyway!

I hope that I have a beast, however, it is still well mannered, if I end up disappointed, I will pass it on to my oldest daughter. She should be getting her license this summer. However, she does not want a Vette she wants a 67-68 Mustang.

Corvette Kid, that is what I want my next project car to be. Blown cobra motor, Cobra IRS, all wrapped up in 65-66 fastback. Man, 67-68s are sweet, but the swoop of the 65-66s FBs just get me going...
Sorry for the thread hi-jack Boatguy, congrats on the install and let us know how she runs for ya!

No problem, I agree with you that the 65-66 Fastback look cool. Too bad they were so slow!
