Next week, the chassis, and setting up the tunning on the Honda's to dial them in.

Hey Denny .W If you need any Tech info on Imports ask my Nephew Thill-1 He has that Street Honda that run's 12.10 with no spray on street tires. I can tell you he's very good with them import Drag car's

Hey Denny and Dave, thanks. I like the smooth idle thing, and avoiding an extra 500 bucks for now, will get the engine in the truck before the end of the year, I figure my friend who runs his own shop can drop the engine and tranny in, tow the truck to me, I'll wire it and do the fine tuning and go from there. By having him do the install I keep the warrenties on the engine and the tranny and I know the welds on the new motor mounts will hold, plus the engine will be in at tyhe right angle.
Denny those Hondas do rev high and perform well, but it is hard to think Hot Rod and foriegn imports, but look at the old opels, austins etc...
Dave I'd love it if this engine gets around 350 hp. I'm told thats not too hard with a 1970 head set and engine block. What do you think?
