The 383 I’m looking at is advertised at 503 hp, 484 torque. I’ll know the actual when it arrives with the Dyno sheet. From speaking to Skip, at Skip White performance, it will be very street friendly. He’s used that combo often.Quote:

I bought those same Hagan Fatties, nice mirrors.
I'm interested in buying the McQueen bike fenders like you. Can't wait to see them on your car with those size tires and wheels that you have choosen.Quote:

The 315's will barely fit, might stick out a little but that's ok with me.Quote:

Had a little self inflicted set back. I drilled a hole in my fuel tank. So, great excuse to get a Boyd's tank. Ordered one this morning. Pulled the tank out last night.

Finished up the McQueen rear fenders last night. Didn't see how many fasteners to use so I did 7 using 1/4-20 rivnuts (deep reach for fiberglass) and stainless button heads on each one. Started 2" from each end and spaced 8.5" apart was the perfect layout.

Good job! Will be nice to see when it's back on the ground how the spacing of those big 315's look with the edge of the fenders.
While the tank is out, I took the opportunity to add a coating of the Boom Mat spray. This is my first time using this product and so far, I really like it. Nice thick coating that seems to do what it's intended to do. Did a little on the inner doors also.

Those fenders look great!
Installed the 3pt belts and removed the 4pt harness'. I think I got them installed correctly, didn't have any instructions.

For anyone wondering, Since the gauge was set up for a 33-240 sender, and Boyds doesn't offer one, The solution for the Boyds tank, sending unit and gauge was an Autometer fuel bridge, and a VDO sender. All is right with the world again

Cross ram manifolds are the coolest looking but give up some horsepower to a tunnel ram. Very cool! Love it!
Yeah, Horsepower was definitely not a consideration... lolQuote:

Love it!
WE GOT A VIN!!!!!!!!
Got my letter today from the BMV with an assigned VIN#.. now to continue with the process
Congrats! That's a big step. Just wondering, how did you make out with the rear McQueen bike fenders and your wide_ss tires? Did you modify the fenders or just adjust the rear ride height to clear them?
So far i've just adjusted ride height so they don't rub. I thought it would look stupid but it doesn't, at least not to me. I really like the look of a full tire in the fenders rather than small tires tucked inside of the fenders.Quote:

Nice work!
Here's what it looks like.. they're 315/35-20Quote:

I wanted something different than the standard FFR rear exhaust ovals. I ended up not using anything from the front pipes back. Installed Borla Pro XS mufflers, 2.5" over the axle pipes, cut, weld grind until everything fit the way I wanted. Finished off with some Stainless Works 1" x 8" tips.

Had a little issue with the 700R4 TV cable leaking so my choices were to pull engine & trans or create an access panel in the trans tunnel. I retained the fiberglass and insulation from the tunnel and made it part of the access panel cover plate. Yeah, you'll have to drill out the outer 1/8 aluminum rivets if you ever need to get in there again but thats much easier than the alternative.
