Hahaha no, but I decided not to go the route of modifying my Cadillac LT1 and use money I've saved over the years to go ahead and build a hotrod from scratch. I'm just in the planning stages right now and figured I'd ask so I do the job right from the beginning (I picked up that book today). I'm thinking a car built for the street, hopefully a full size Chevrolet with 450 horsepower at the crank. I figure that should be doable with a 454 but I'm open to new ideas or input. This board is a fantastic resource and I thank everyone for their help.
