Update Photos
Just thought I would show you guys a little of the progress I have made on my truck. These are engine and interior pictures. I will have some new under the hood parts and a new underbed tank soon.

The new painless fuse block, mounted in the driver's side kick panel vent. As you can see, I have a lot of wiring to do.

Very Nice looking. I like the painted inner fenders with that engine. Where did you get the dash panel?

XXL So far the kit has been painless, it come with some good instructions. I haven't gotten everything wired up, but most of the right plugs, etc are there. I can tell you more in a few weeks, when I finish it.
bouncytruck The dash is from No Limit www.nolimit.net, it is billet aluminum. 67chevemall I cut through the cowl section behind the fender. I am making pieces to finish it so it will essentually be the same as the firewall. It just allows me to smooth the firewall that much more. Chevyguy111786 The seats are from Steel Horse, which is no longer around. I bought them from Autobahn, they have a website. They cost around $800. They still may have some. The quality is good, all but the mounting brackets. I am going to make my own

They are street and performance ceramic coated headers. They cost around $400 dollars. They are very well made. All the welds are ground completely smooth.

Looks good...even with a big motor there's still a lot of room under the hood.
