All you V8 guys and guys that have built these pocket rockets which kit or combination of parts work best. Such as quality of parts, service, instructions, cost,ect. How about some testimonys and storys from V8 people about their cars, what they used and what they wouldn't use if they had it to do over again.

914GEM thanks the pics are taken before I got the car and It is a little on the dirty side, I have since cleaned it up as time has allowed.
The battery is mounted in the front, radiator is not a RH but it seems to be getting the job done. When I get around to doing a conversion on the JLO car I will be using the RH radiator system. Give me a holler when you are out in this neck of the woods, gone in June for the WCC in San Jose Ca. that might be a good time for you to plan your trip, then you can meet just about everyone in one place. I have to make a correction I stated that the motor is a 327 w/283 crank making it a 305, not true it is a 302 like the 67-8 Z-28s. And yes I am having to switch to new Kumhos , because the old Yokos are not getting the job done. It is setup as an autocross/DE car, and that is what I will keep it as.
