I don’t want to put a v8 in it. I think a v8 in a Grand National just takes away from what it is. I’d rather find a 4.1 and put that back in instead of doing a v8 just because the v8 swap to me is just beating the horse over and over it’s been done so many times

I love your plans. Stick to them and let's see this thing come together. I'm loving the progress so far :)

It's sad that they got all the bugs out in the 3.8 SC Stage 3 and then stopped making it.

Making progress, this evening I got the donor firewall separated from its original door posts. It is now ready for cleaning and repair so it can be ready for the GN when I marry these two together hopefully this winter. I would love to have most of the metal work done this winter but we shall see
