ARP bolts are used throughout to hold things together. An Edelbrock Performer intake and a Holley 800 double pumper  get things going.   An Edelbrock Victor Jr is planned for this winter.

A Lunati Voodoo Cam and Comp Cams pushrods and guideplates open the valves in the Chevy 781 heads.

The horsepower is channelled into a deep pan Turbo 400 packed full of B&M hardware.  A street and strip Transpak is connected to a B&M Megashifter.  I just installed a Redneck 4500 converter.  Should help the 60 ' times.

Out back, the power is laid down through a GM 12 bolt with a Moroso Brute Strength posi unit. Richmond 4.10 gears and a T/A diff cover with carrier supports finish it off. Thanks to Randy's Ring and Pinion for building it right.

Just finished the exhaust system off. Went with Flo-Tech cut-outs into 3" pipe straight back into 3" Dynomax Welded Ultraflows then into 3" turndowns. Sounds badass.

The front end is a one piece fiberglass unit. Mounted on a home engineered hinge and bracket assembly, it tilts out of the way for easy access.The scoop is a vintage L88 Corvette replica, helping the 454 breathe a little easier with it's 4" cowl opening.
