Front End:350 4 bolt, some add-ons but nothing crazy- plans for LS1
Transmission:Saginaw 4 spd - plans for 6spd to match LS1
Rear End:stocker-needs a posi SOON
Exhaust:needs to be redone
Wheels/Tires:17" Coys, 235/45/17 on 7" with 4 1/2" BS and 255/45/17 on 8" with 4 1/2" BS (5" would have been better for the rear)
Interior:stock blue with bench, soon to be black with buckets
Electrical:stock
Accessories/Options:2 seats and 4 wheels
Sound system:350 4 bolt
Comments: I finally got it on the road last summer after 12 years of sitting around and 2 years of resto. Plans are to redo the interior in black with factory style buckets, rebuild/add posi to the rearend and do a LS1/2 style with 6spd engine/tranny swap.
2 little boys under the age of 3 and a stay-at-home wife have put things on hold for now but at least I can take the family out in it for rides.

Hey Craig, long time no chat! I have not spent much time on Steve's over the last couple of months as I have alot of stuff going on. You will have to drop me a line and get me up to date on your progress as of late.

Thanks for the complements!! It means alot coming from the guru's on here because I can honestly say my car would not look like that if it was not for this site. I have had lots of questions (mostly dumb ones) and gotten tones of answers!
Thanks again

As i've said before, i really do love your car, its nothing to be modest about. Just wish you were closer so i could help you get the interior going a bit faster. Oh and let me know when you get to that engine swap, i'd love to take those valve covers off your hands:devil:

The way is sits in those pics are with stock front springs with a coil cut and stock shot mono's in the rear with air shocks raising it 3/4" The car is currently apart getting CCP 2" front lowering springs and hotchkis 1.5" rear lowering springs. It will probably a couple of months before I can compare the difference.

Hey thanks allot Jason. Come on up here any time, it's been a nice -28C (-35-40C with windchill) for the last couple of days. I have been doing allot of research lately on the gen 3 engines so a swap will be coming for sure.
