I have just gone through your thread for this build. I just realized that this is a TWO YEAR and counting project!! I have been waiting to build my car as I am saving money so I can get it done as fast as time will allow me, without money being an issue. You are obviously doing a lot of work yourself, which is awesome, as I do not have such skills in my hands or the space available to me (anything that I do is in a narrow driveway). But are you doing things as money allows, time allows, or both? What has been the biggest limiting factor for your build??

I work on my car from time to time after work..I've been busy with other projects and hope to free up some time soon..One of the things that slow me down is waiting for my fabricator to do the welding..his shop is full..I hope to make more progress soon and post pictures..will be installing trans mission with torque converter ,install wire harness and custom drive shaft..
Gonna have 90 degree elbows for turbos made and down pipes that exit behind front tire..

I just have a question. How does that work with running a zo6 NA cam with boost? I would figure it wouldn’t run the greatest and if I was running a LS with boost I would look into a forced induction specific cam but idk much about LS motors .
