after 5 1/2 years, she's getting close. Another tease pic for y'all....
I still have a bunch of "gremlins" to work out - courtesy of Lucas electronics. And I need to upgrade the brakes. She WILL be on the road again this summer!

Hi,

What Chevy you got under the bonnet ( hood in American ! ) Be interested to see any pictures of the install.

Car looks great, apart from the steering wheel is on the passengers side for some reason [;)]

Cheers John

John, the engine is a Chevy 350 (5.7 litre for those of you who drive from the passenger seat and measure in the wrong language [:D][:D] ). It's a LT-1 engine, 4 speed auto tranny & computer out of a '94 Camaro Z28 donor. I would have preferred a standard, or better yet an LS-1 drive train, but this one happened to fall in my lap virtually given to me.
I will post a whole lot more pics when she's on the road. As the title states - just a tease for now!
