Weekend warrior/ cruise night and occasional track car. With some health issues behind me I am back up and working at almost 62 years young.. Been in a wheelchair for 20 years so my shop is set up accordingly. Benches, engine stands all lowered. Plus heat, air, satellite dish. Do all my own work, just a little different, LOL. I drive with hand controls (throttle and brakes). So after previous car learning curves this one will be built solely with that in mind. Easy for me to work on, programmable shifting, tuning, better brakes, etc. And vintage air, I'm tired of sweating. Rear suspension. Parallel 4 bar from control freak with Viking double adjustable coil overs. Mini tubs to frame rails. Ford 9 inch aluminum center section, Eaton Truetrac 3.70 gears. Wilwood 12.19 brakes. Frame connectors, torque boxes, core support brace and hidden inner fender supports.. Front suspension Gerst with power rack and pinion. Double adjustable coil overs, sway bar and 2 inch drop spindles. 12.19 brakes. Trans is a TCI 6X set up with Chrysler Reid bellhousing, 3500 stall and electronic shifting. Engine will be 572 all aluminum hemi. Finally collected everything but pushrods. Got my new KB block last month. (it was worth the wait, Very stout piece.) Pump gas 11.5 to 1. Molnar crank and rods. Diamond pistons. I have both a Charley's pan and a Milodon road race pan. Leaning towards the Milodon. with a 2 quart accumulator. Heads are Stage V customs CNC ported from FHO. Stage V rockers with FHO stands. Cam is a bullet 262/270 @ .050. 114lsa, .710 in. .690 ex. Jesel lifters and belt drive. Stage V dual 4500 intake machined for injectors and rails.. Complete Holley Dominator EFI setup from Rich Nedbal. with dual 1200cfm accufab throttle bodies. Holley injectors, Holley smart coils. All wiring harnesses. Andy F throttle linkage, cam sync ,tone wheel and pickup bracket. Aeromotive Phantom 340 pump. Rich will help me on the tuning. This will be a learning curve for me. At this time I just finished rear brakes, moving to front and installing all brake lines. Then on to fuel lines and wiring. If interested I will post pics as I progress.

Good looking car. That is going to be a huge project so good luck and keep plugging away. If you were local I'd swing by one day a week to help you out.

love the car....

Beautiful car, what size wheels and tires?

Dang! That's going to be a nice piece when you're done! Looks really good. Keep at it.

Got my new KB block last month. (it was worth the wait, Very stout piece.)
And at the age of 62 ...…….I been on the list now for almost one year. You are a few years older than me. i'm trying to hold on to this KB block deal but don't no how long, so far there's been nothing but

Very nice. enjoy the build.

Wow, that is an awesome combo. Hat's off for your effort. Hope it works out exactly as planned. Enjoy the ride !

Very nice!

Rear tires are M&H 325/45R-17 28 in. tall on a 17x12. I have enough room for a 13 maybe even a 14in. wheel and a 390/40-17. Fronts are 26x6x17 MT sportsmans on 17x4.5. I would like to have another set of wider fronts and maybe 10 inch rears for highway handling.

That looks awesome

Nice love the modern hemi!

Me thinks that block is not a gen 3 hemiroid motor
Looks a lot like a aluminum KB 426 hemi block to me

That is a very impressive build.

Lot's of respect from me on this one.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

I like that block..........a lot!!

Wow, good on ya, and I 2nd AndyF's thoughts...

Been getting a little more done on the mockup. Shortened steering column to make valve cover removal a little easier. Gerst front end is done. Headers in. Making smart coil brackets. Hoping to start plumbing this week, fuel and brake lines. Slow process, but plugging away

Very nice high end build What ignition are you going to use ? MSD type deal or EFI ecu based system.

Gus

Wow, you do great work! What type of exhaust cutouts are those?
