The engine block looks a bit hinkey. Service block, or is it a Pontiac?

I did consider the removable cross member a few years back, but to be honest it's not that big of a deal removing the trans from the top/inside the car.

before the car goes to paint I want to get the trunk pan installed.
the fiberglass street pan was just a bit to tight to fit this frame, my solution, make one up that will fit.
Just need to cut in some access holes then powder coat it.

Looks great Craig! That certainly will be another satisfied customer. Keep the pictures coming. Helps me make it through these cold winter months.

The block is one of our new billet plastic 1000 hp ultra lightweight versions.
After the ride along in your HiTech the other day I am going to need all the hp I can get to keep up with you!
