Engine - Dart SHP Next Pro LS Iron Block fully skirted, all forged rotating assembly, RHS CNC 307 LS7 Cyl heads.
Installed 4.5 Whipple front feed and currently machining a 2" spacer to install between Blower and Lower Intake. This will obviously increase air flow (if you have looked at these blowers you know the intercooler obstructs the intake ports) this is a tradeoff for hood clearance in most applications. This is the same for 2.9 and 4.5 blowers. My engine builder makes them for LS3 and LS7 applications.
Wilson Manifolds -10 Fuel Rails (standard blower height will only allow for -6), Fuel E85. Should be on dyno soon.

Cab will go to pain and body shop within next couple of weeks to clean up the firewall and spray. Scheduled to take to chassis shop late December (currently on list for opening). Chassis Shop will narrow frame rails, install 9", 4 link with coil overs, fuel cell. Front suspension consists of QA1 front suspension kit that includes new crossmember, upper and lower control arms, rack and pinion and coil overs etc. Current Delima is selecting the correct wheels. Truck will be painted 2014 Dodge Viper Gunmetal Pearl.

Got to work getting it ready to pull cab and get it to the paint and body shop so the firewall can be done

Following, building a 73 Stepper. Who built your 4l80? Did they do any mods internally?
