    Those are imressive numbers. John B's Monte Carlo dyno'e 487 RWHP, I am sure he has some tuning tweeks done and a good free flowing intake and exhaust. You can check out his web page here:

    He has been working with John Spear at Speartech on the electronics and tune. Are you going to put any sort of rollbar in your roadster? As fast as it will be, you will need that to run at a track. It does kinda take away from the look though. Can't wait to see your progress.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    No, no roll bar. I just like a lot off horse power, It's just fun to drive. I finished a 32 roadster last Easter with a blown and injected 388" Donovan (639 hp)

    Started on the headers, I am to lazy to make new flanges so I just cut them off of the stock exhaust manifolds since they are all stainless from the factory. I am told these engines like a small long tube so they are 1 7/8 x 36" long with a 3" collector. Then it will be 3" threw the mufflers out the back. It's going to get challenging in the muffler department!

    Very cool! That's gonna be a real nice ride when it's all done. When I first decided to put my LT1 in my '35 coupe that was hardly done now LS1's are all over in old rods and now LS7's are showing up too. So no one will be impressed with my old Gen II smallblock if I ever get it running, but that's ok

    Those are the style wheels I want...there's several brands that look similar...what wheels are those?

    There is a lot of cool stuff out there for those motors. They are all great motors, you made a good choice no matter how long it takes you.
