What will be the displacement of your engine build? You won't be disappointed in the D1 it's really awesome.

I want an F series now as well, but going to keep things as they are for now so I can actually drive and enjoy the vehicle this year. This project was absolutely insane, now just want to exhale and drive.

My displacement has to be 427. this is a Chevy classic! Now just to decide on LSX, ERL sleeved block, or RHS. My initial goal with the D1 SC is 800-850 with the eventual goal of 1000 + RWHP with the bigger PC head unit. Gotta figure out a new fuel system to feed the bigger cubes also.

Thanks, man. It's been a really long time.
The reality of getting her back hasn't settled in yet, but once I drive it home reality will set in. I will finally exhale. Can't wait.

I'll post pics / vids as soon as I can.

We installed a new slave cylinder, and bearing. Seems to be something that happens occasionally (for some) when changing to an aftermarket clutch (of course would happen to me because I'm so extreme).

We should be fine now.

If you have any questions you know where to reach me, more than happy to help out. BTW - Touched base with Chris, that will be the next mod.

Drew man, it's total insanity man 1, 2 are basically useless tires do nothing but spin. I guess that's next on the list.

Can't wait until the weather warms up.

Now I have to read the ProCharger article.
