My Early Christmas present!!
I havnt been active much on here lately as I've been working a lot at my new job, and working on the car! So I figured I'd start a thread on what gift I've recently received, and what I've been up to 
Rebuilt LS2 with:
*Prc LS6 heads
*MS3 cam
*LS7 Lifters
*ARP rod bolts
*UD pulley
Annndd my Harrop I've been dying to use again.
I recently got a garage (some of you know my famous driveway pics
Weird pic app on my phone lol:
3 car garage including electric! So this has really helped me get all the nice parts I've bought over the year
LG's drop spindles ( Huge thanks to Dennis@DoubleDmods)
LG's GT2 Coilovers
Pfadts Heavy Rate Sways
Mocked up my C6Z brakes
And the new wheels (TSW Interlagos)
Pfadt's Solid motor mount (Dennis comes thru again!)
That brings me up to now where I have a completely empty engine bay awaiting a new motor!!!
Anyone want to guess numbers?
Happy Holidays!!

Thanks guys!!
Yes and no lol. I have a lottt of stuff I've been meaning to install so that's one thing that has created more work.
Another is I lost my stock motor a while back, so to get the car up and running (and because money is tight) I went with a rebuilt motor. If and when I have the time, I have a new twin turbo kit boxed up. I've been dying to use the ITB for a while so I'm going to have some fun with this build. Then TT later down the road.
455rwhp sounds good to me!

Love that Harrop system - best of luck getting the car finished up and back on the road.

Did some more "cleaning" 
Looks reallll good in person!
Here is something else that I can seem many of you not liking but it didn't want to retain the stock latches anymore:
If anyone has ideas on things I should check/ replace let me know! I'm basically going over the whole car at this point

Did you experience any flex/cracking issues with the factory hinges and the new hood? If the hood is close can you post pics of the hood where you trimmed for the Pro-flo and then the cowl area since it is all exposed now. No need to show completely installed. Merry Christmas by the way, or at least Happy holidays to you and your family.
