Yeah I was searching for you for this topic. You know that If the big block is 2 inches longer than the small Block, where does this extra length take space at? Does it push the Tranny back 2 inches, or does it push 2 inches in the fron, or does it do that with a combination-1 push back , and one up front? Also did you have to put thinner acces. Like a slimmer AC pump, Smog, alt.? Or did you just use the stock ones?

Plus you got a radical engine :yesnod: What kind of intake do you use? ONe that feeds both runners, or whatever you call them, looks really cool :yesnod:

Dude, got to or call Staples or Office Depot and get their fax number and I can fax it there, you may have to pay $2-$3 though, email the fax # to me and then go pick it up there , or maybe where you work,,, I could send it there.

Last resort is to email me your addres and I will send you a photo copy.
