I've been collecting parts and slowly making progress.
Holley serpentine belt system
Circle D 3200 rpm torque converter
Pulled the trigger on Fitech Ultimate LS kit
Accuair CVT kit
And finally sent the rear end and modified trans mount out for powder. It is currently at a driveline shop getting 373 gears and a Detroit TrueTrac
I should have a rolling chassis here shortly and then I'll start on new brake lines and exhaust.
