The beast
Here is the BEAST sitting in the car. Its a 555ci BBC that should hurl the vette to into the 8s @150mph+

Its really not that bad of a fit. the headers are going to be a challenge with the raised .300 exhaust ports, but should have them in by the weekend and it will be ready for firing shortly thereafter.
Burning some hours on this little upgradebut cant wait to light it up

Omg..almost there. Could have started it tonight but wanted to double check some things. Dad, the boys, and I have been hard at work on this thing for 2 weeks and it's almost done.
This included a complete rear great swap out, removing the gears from another car, and putting them back in here and also putting in my normal days work hours. Been going at it from 4 till midnight almost every night but it's coming together awesome.
Taking it to the track. .maybe tomorrow night, but definitely Saturday for some hits.
Trying to post pics but might be tomorrow.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I cant wait either...taking a half day to finish it up, get it cleaned and loaded into the trailer.
On the way it was...all that stuff might be getting sold if people(s) are interested. i have a complete custom single plan that fits under the hood perfectly 1000cfm TB 30lbs injectors, aeromotive regulator, Accel DFI system, killer 23* heads M2 racesystem 227cc w/ new springs last fall (arguably the best 23* heads ever made and I will stand by that until someone shows me a comparable car running better times), solid lifters, roller rockers, billet timing cover with adjustable roller cam button, msd crank trigger and a ton of other very high end stuff. PM me if you see anything you like. But I am on the fence and may save it all for my son who is 13 and racing Jr dragsters now...it would make for a nice 383-434 combo when he gets older...plus have 3 speed electric shifter (just changed mine to reverse shift for trans brake for this combo.)
With the above stuff I can give you the cam information to get the same cam from bullet racing as it was hurt when the motor left go...there is no reason your car wouldnt run easy 9.8-10.1 depending on traction as mine did it weekend after weekend. And pull 1.26-1.33 60ft times but to get the lower end of that you need the right suspension and torque converter, also something I could tell you what to get.
