Yea I actually think thats funny. I actually had to ask Steve as we were working the details..."don't you mean 427?". On the flip side it will be very unique to have an LS based 429...

After taking a beating from every Chevy guy I know, the forums, Facebook groups, etc. I am officially re-ordering the badges and calling this a 427. I'm weak...

Have that badge so that it says, 427 and in very small font, top right of the seven, it will read +2. Win, win. They you can tell everyone what it means, lol.

BTW Andy when do I get to see the Buick listed in your signature? I've always loved those and can't imagine what you may have done with yours...

Well mechanically the car is done except for final calibration, drivability, etc. We are finally getting close. It's been a long road due to delays on the block from RHS so I'm sure Andy, Steve, and the guys at Livernois are ready to never see me again.
