Beer of choice this week is Stone Brewery: 'Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale'. I personally love almost anything from Stone Brewery so kind of bias when it comes to them.. But this beer is really good, has a strong bitter taste, so be prepared.
How much did it cost you to have the bars under the hood fabricated as well as the radiator 'shrouds' (shiny silvery metal) I'll just call them. OH! and the bumper..what'd you pay for that? Can you add them to the list considering you bought the $800 radiator?

I will post up total cost of Front tube chassis and cage work along with Radiator shroud price. Reason I did not post up cost of bumper is cause that has nothing to do with the engine build..

Nice progress

I have been thinking of the undertray this week as well. I am thinking of getting one of the aluminum and just making my own mounting points for it to bolt to... custom, just like everything else on this car.

Its nice to see fellow enthusiasts completely destroy any and all resale or trade-in value of the car just like I have

You should def do a undertray and a custom one should not be hard at all to make.. I might replace my Plywood one with a CF honey comb design later but this will def work for now..

Also yup no resale here sir.. staying with me for life.

Lenginfelter makes a mild cam for street cars. Alot of the LS after market cams are set up for making a 10-11 sec drag cars...Massive low end torque and hp.

I think for our cars a sloping torque curve from 2000-3500rpm and flat after that. That way you dont break the back end loose all the time when you stomp on the gas.
