      vaporworx tank from Ricks
      Vaporworx fuel pump controller (Thanks Carl!)
      Aluminum driveshaft from Empire
      Afco radiator
      Corvette Accessories
      Kwik A/C mount
      Edelbrock Headers and mount adapters
      Mast oil pan
      Mark VIII fan with DCC controller
      K&N CAI for 06 GTO
      SC&C Stage 2+
      Kore3 C5 brakes in front and LS1 brakes in rear
      Vintage Wheel Works V40 rims in 17x9.5 and 17x8
      Hotchkis BB springs in front and rear

      Inside I ended up doing a lot more than I originally planned. Surprise huh? I had always wanted better seats and a center console. (Just like the look) I wanted to add A/C someday but once I got the dash off to deal with wiring it made more sense to do it now. So I installed the gen IV from vintage air. The seats are recaro seats from a Suzuki vehicle that I had to modify extensively. Several times I questioned my sanity in doing it the way I did. But being 6'4" and 240 demands some modifications to about any seat I bought. And, these were very comfortable and the price was cheap so I went for it. I'm happy with the results.

      I did have to split my trans tunnel to fit the 4L70 up high enough to get my engine angles where they should be. Added about 2 inches down the center to spread it apart. I wont show the work because I am seriously embarrassed by my welding skills!

      That's all I can think of right now. I'm off to tuner in a few minutes.
      Always liked the 66 and 67 Chevelle, looks like you put a lot of work in this car, it sure paid off! Nice Ride and detailled! Are those BMW covered seats?

      I would go for a smaller cowl though other than that jut perfect!

      Very nice ride!!!

      The seats look great. As a 6'5", 225lb guy, I sympathize with you on needing all the head/leg room possible. I'm interested in what kind of modifications you made to make them look so good.

      Also, how is the tie rod to oil pan clearance with the Mast pan and Edelbrock mounts? I'm using the same components on a LQ9, but I've not got to the point of installing the engine yet since I'm still working on the suspension.

      Very nice and clean install! The LS2/4L70E swap seems to be pretty hot right now and guess what....I have an LS2/4L70E package sitting in the garage waiting to be installed! Is there any particular reason you went with the Corvette accessories as I have the truck accessories on mine and have been contemplating on what to do.

      The Corvette accessories work really well in A-bodies. Nice build!

      I concur! Very nice '66! The LS conversion looks so clean in there. I keep thinking that would be the perfect update for my el Camino. If only I had a money tree in my back yard!
