Go to the attached link and scroll done approx 1/2 way to see some cool pics of my new race engine for the "track only" project car.

The 427 warhawk block is now outfitting and will be installed with the new tilton clutch next week. The engine will be running approx 13/1 compression and we are shooting for 700+ rwhp, NA.

Next with the drive train in place, the car is getting shipped to Joilet Il., to Eurosport Racing where we will complete the install of the Daley dry sump systems, install the radiators, 2 stage exterior oil coolers, diff and tranny coolers.

Then it's on to the suspension, cage and other upgraes. In addition to 3 way coil overs, the car is receiving new bearings and uprights to correct bump steer and bring the swing arms into proper alignment after we lower the car almost 3 inches!

That thing is going to be quit the car! By the way is your car on page 15 in East Coast Corvettes magazine? It sure looks like it. Way to go :cheers:

Thanks. In the next 10 days we will have the drivetrain installed and will ship the car to Joliet to start the suspension, brake and cage work.

I'm having a riot building this crazy thing. Will keep the pictures coming. I need to have in completed by 4/1 so I have my work cut out for me.

I just ordered the Brembo GTR monoblock brakes, JRZ 3 way coil overs, Tilton Pedal Box/dual master cylinder(one from front one for back) and the Motec computer sys/dash. The parts should arrive in about 3 weeks. In the meantime, the cage cad design/fabrication should start in a couple of week.
