Now on to the engine bay! Notice the auxiliary shock fluid reservoirs... that's how you know it has the ultra-awesome RideTech tripple-adjustable coilovers.

We don't have a mock tall-deck block, so we spaced the head appropriately to begin fabbing custom stainless steel headers. Our production headers are 1 7/8 inch (1 7/8" primaries into 3" collector), which we've found to be the best for LSx builds up to about 730hp, but since this is a 1000hp application, we built custom long-tube headers with 2" primaries into a 4" collector, which will merge into 3" exhaust.

[Windy City Chevelle]

Looking sweet and did you really need to add mini tubs in order to fit the 19" in the rear. I have a 68 chevelle I'm doing and wondering if I really need to add mini tubs in order to fit 19x10 on 295

Thanks! And yes, mini tubs were necessary to fit the 19x12.5" rears. I'll have to double check the tire size on Monday, but we usually run 335s or 345s in the rear, and 275 in front.

[yellow1098Greg]

Wow awsome car.... My dream car actually....what's that list build list cost approximately through u guys?

[Windy City Chevelle]

You think I would be able to run 296/30/19 in doing 19x10 on my 68 Chevelld without having to do mini tubs any way you can help me out n yes I have heard that anything larger than 19x10 you do need mini tubs

What rack and pinion are you running?
