          your previous engine was a thing of pure beauty, but this lsx motor is looking pretty good too, not to mention the boost in power/weight. Very nicely done! Keep it up!

                  It may just be the picture, but that motor mount arm looks really flimsy.

                              Those wheels are sick!

                              Knowing what you know about the 16X9's and their fitment with the fender, how well would you say the 16x8s v3's will fit?

                              Thanks
