yes guys he wants to turn, quite well actually. I tried getting him to look at other subframes like Heidts and stuff, and he wont change his mind. Mini-tubs are very well a possibility. I got my wife on the bandwagon to start pushin for a little more. She's been sending him pics while he is at work of some awesome looking novas with nice wheels/tires and saying "yeah dad we cant fit those without the tubs" haha. the YO wheels i have to call and get the exact specs for. it should turn damn well, i hope.
after talking to various machine shops in the area, he is really leaning to a gmpp zz383 crate motor. for the price and the warranty, he likes it. I have looked at various crate 383's, blueprint is a no-way-in-hell, but has anyone ever heard of
www.cnc-motorsports.com? they have some pretty nice packages even in the 350 range, and the 383 range makes really nice power. we are gonna run the slightly built th350 and a stall for a while, until he figures out if he wants a auto with od or a manual trans.
HardcoreZ28 no problem man, we are atleast 4-6 weeks out yet until we will be getting ready to roll it out and bring it down. One of us will definitely give you a heads up atleast a week or two in advance.
