The last piece of the diff puzzle to order is the Lingenfelter 3:91 gear set and then I have to round up $$$ for the DBA rotors and Pfadt coilovers. The diff, rotors and coilover installation will happen all in one trip to the hoist. Pumpkin probably will not go to Dutchman Customs hoist till Feburary or March.

Were looking at a complete LSA c/w blower from GM for 14k for a build of a 55 Chev. Might be an option down the road for Pumpkin.

Really like this Mast Motorsport option for Pumpkin. Plug and play 650hp NA LSX 454 not much more $$$ then a blower.

Back to reality. Got a nice driving day today which included a trip to Bill's hoist at Ducthman Customs for a oil change, a bolt change on the DSS driveshaft system and clear a few pesky codes. Pumpkin ready to go to dealer for:

Tranny Issue
Oil Leak
Halo Replacement
Wheel Finish Issue

and then winter hibernation for more mod's.

Dont know if I'm going now.. I have a class to attend in a week, and then a dr's appt, my wifes reunion, then the mile, etc.... by the time this is all done, It'll be snow/bad weather season... so...

I talked to a guy today that can bend the pipes we need and then Corey and I can carry on with the install... I'm headed to the shop tomorrow and will discuss it with him...

Another solution is to buy some racing seats and with the narrower base, just use the bars supplied....
