I guess I should give a little update on how the car is doing. Made the trip to OCMD with 0 problems, didn't even happen to open the tool box and got 20mpg on the highway with the carb. Everytime I drive this thing I fall more in love with it. The ls3 with the small cam really speaks to me and is a hoot to pound on. The t56 magnum is smooth as butter and there's nothing like dropping it and 6th and chugging while all the oldies with their 4spd and th400s are screaming. I spooked and ran down a couple newer bmws and a Porsche and countless other bland cars too. Overall I'm really happy that this thing drives as well and comfortably as it does, it's really a car that is meant to get driven and gets driven hard, it probably has 2k miles on it in the past 8 weeks.
In addition to the time spent with my dad working on it together it also has inspired him take his 68 out more, something that rarely has happened since the cars been done. We can now drive into cruise nights together. He is even itching to 6speed swap it and promises his old iron 454 can keep up too
