I really enjoyed the video, but I found myself trying to sit up straighter to see over the steering wheel. It does sound healthy!

I've been quietly following this, Good to see you're still at it, the LS4 should make the car a riot.

I invited Lou Dias to trash me in my own thread, he refused. sorry. if he trashes your thread going after me. I tried.

No pushrod 60V6 Fiero has been faster according to the 1/4 mile list.

Not much progress still, but the goal is to have the package married and on a cradle by Christmas. Trans mount options are very limited which is a bummer. May build a mount into the adapter plate even.

Also, the 3.4 had another great showing at empire this year... still on 6+ year old tires and just really go up there for fun. Had a wild control arm failure in the front first session but managed to come back to the podium.

Heh heh... yeah, I found it frustrating as well. Loved the sound of that engine winding up.

A little closer every day. Had some major setbacks on the cad side of things, but found someone to help me with the finishing touches.

Should have something bolted together and sitting near the cradle by the end of the month.
