      Awesome ride. Looks way better than a Chevelle of the same year. Can't wait to read about it in PHR.

      Yes I like the olds power with new engineering incorporated. Anyone can transplant the whole LSx T56 into anything, but lets see an olds with aluminum heads, t56, hydroboost, and fuel injection. That has cool factor.

      We have already done all the suspension work and brakes. The build up will start in the January issue. As for the motor, we are working on it, but you'll have to stay tuned. I don't think it'll disappoint.

      Great looking car. Any chance it will have a serpintine belt system on an Olds engine? I have been trying to figure out how to do one. Lately I have been wondering how to do it so maybe I could use a side mounted type supercharger.

      No plans for that. We are keeping it simple for now.

      Nice project.

      That is a perfect example of how a modern wheel can completely transform the persona of a car.

      I'm working with Robert from Zoops on a serpentine belt system. Right now I have a prototype setup on my engine on the runstand. Everything fits within the width of the engine. I am using the 6.1" inch waterpump, but we have room to use the 5.6" pump and bring it back even closer, plus make it even more compact. I will post pictures as soon as we have the production version done.

      Don't have to wait any longer. The first article on the rear suspension featuring DSE A-body kit and installed by Performance Restorations(Brent Jarvis) is on the stands now. Please check it out. The front suspension coming soon. D&Z Customs, (Randy Johnson) just completed a rearend install for a future article. I think you'll like what we have come up with. The engine is near complete and will update on the progress when we have it complete.

      I agree Jeff. I really love the lines of the car. It is a great platform to show off what can be done to an A-body and as Chevelles become less plentiful, this is a great alternative.
