I blew up my 351w last Aug and at the time I was prepping to swap in my 408w. Well, in the process I decided I was driving the whole Hot Rod Power Tour and started heavily modifying the car. One project lead into another and I pretty much redid the whole car. I'll post up pics soon, cardomain is down at the moment.

I fired the engine up for the first time this past Friday. My friend says it sounds like a NASCAR racer. I need to borrow a video camera so I can post a clip.

The car isn't done yet but I'll post pics soon.
