Started the mock up....
The big block fits pretty good. I wanted to set it in to mark the cross member for the notch and I have to admit that it will look pretty good when it's done.
I even had time to put my cool hot rod shifter in

Just a .30 over rebuild w/ speed pro pistions and GM internals. Mild port and match on the oval port heads and intake. Comp cams Xtreme energy 268H cam. I have C3 headers that i will persuade in and run duals back. The dyno Sim put it at 450HP/505TQ.
It is going into a prepped 700R4 and the stock D36 (fingers crossed)
I will try to take it to the strip just to see what it runs in the summer. It should be an interesting driver for the weekends.

Pretty cool.
Curious however, Why not a big stroker SBC? There are guys running 434's, and soon to be a "450" stroker in the spring. At least that way you know it will fit.
What cubic inches is this? That is a neat project man' Goodluck!

If this guy fits a RAT in there, which one of you will install a LS9 in a C4?
Anyone with the cash and thinking about it.
