My new project - V8 under the hood
I'm starting to get a little tired of the low power/high wheel spin thing with the KL so I started a V8 project. It's a lot easier than I thought, I don't know what all the bitching in the Performance forum is all about.
Today I got the V8 mounted in, all I have left to do is find a matching gearbox and probably a Painless wiring kit for the stuff. I like it, it's all-aluminum, compact (look at that elbow room!), and should be a lot of fun.
Enough teasing, on to the pics:
Chassis Preparation
Engine Bay prep:

I would do a writeup but then a bunch of copycats will copy it and I want to keep my originality. In da hood where I'm from, it's all about originality and respect - you have to earn it, it is not given. I'll see YOU at a track near you. Look for my new license plate KILLAV8PGT to rock the street races as well. Don't be sayin' I didn't warn y'all about losing your money.
