looking at the ISIS system on the two guys garage build if i can get past the terrible name they chose for it
Paint and Body
not sure yet but it will be me that does it
.
short block is together , waiting on cam and heads. trans is ordered .
not sure on the wheels but basically got them for no extra charge with the 3k dollar summer sale so ill use them to roll the chassis and maybe in the final build . not sure
whipple has been ordered
kit completion date per FFR is 10/26/ 19
so i have a 416 ls3 twin turbo and a 408 iron block ls setup for a 4 liter whipple . i decided it would be a waste . this 5.7 can easily make more power than i can ever hook up with in this chassis
ill save the 416 twin turbo for the GTM i plan to build if this goes well
the pic is my old shop truck i may just do this 35 in this style .
61 f100 injected 620 hp FRPP 521 big block , Lentech strip terminator AOD trans, ac ps , nav , remote start etc
looking forward to learning and getting to know the builders and community here
