Yes, I'm still on my first engine and OG setup. Nothing failed in my fabbing or the engine. I am upgrading the long block this winter with another used engine with better CR and some better OEM heads. Still running the classic FAST box. Eventually it'll be a 5.7/nag1 single turbo, but I'm going to do the Coronet first since I found a deal on this 'new' 383 to throw in it.

You could have gotten that Imp breathing through the hair dryers on the stock engine years ago at this point and been very happy with it.....I've never looked closely at an Imp compartment, but the way you describe it there'd be room up front for the junk.
