Nice project. I just read the thread fromt he begining with quite a bit of enthusiasm until the girlfriend and delay part came about.
Anyway, I admire your project quite a bit. Wanted to ask about the engine set back as I do not think you got enough into it. what about in side the car? I would guess you enlarged the trans tunnel too because of moving the trans back? What about driver position, pedals, etc? This also would move you further away from the dash and gauges or did you move it all back too?
Just thinking about reaching the light switch, stereo, etc. or did you stay in the same place and just be more cramped? curious?
Best to you on the engine build but, surprised you put the said limited time and money into a 455 esp. after a 400 main web failure? Would it have not been cheaper/wiser to build an earlier 400 or 389 with the thicker webs? I see the advantages to the extra inchs for some but, with your blower, should not make much a difference.
Oh, like your headers too.
Hoping that lifes other interests do not deter you too far from the Pontiac/car hobby.
Best to you,
Steve
