FINALLY have some progress on the notch...just got my order from summit, lots of fuel stuff, super vic efi intake, driveshaft, some fluids, and my x pipe and some other misc stuff..i orderd the intake elbow yest and my trans should be here monday. i also got in my MGW shifter...looks like a solid piece i cant wait to try it out. im going to take some more pics of the notch today. i got a little done, put some interior back in and cleaned up the engine bay a little,

one thing im not to happy with is the intake. i sold my prof products one because everyone told me they were junk..and i have to say it looks exactly the same as the eddy version. not to say the eddy version is bad i love edelbrock but i think the prof products needs a little more credit then what they get...and i noticed im going to have a nice fitment issue with the dizzy and the fuel lines...awesome lol

its been so long since ive updated this thread. mainly because ive been at school and havent had a lot of time to work on the car...althought it was running last summer i took the engine out again and did some more work...heres a few more pics...we got it in primer and ran out of time to paint it so hopefully this summer...the latest version of my 408 is in the car and running finally.












its come a long way since last year but still has a long way to go...i added a whole new fuel system with 8an feed and 6an return. sfi balancer, 3 core radiator and new water pump, few other odds and ends...i got an anderson pms now instead of the moates quarter horse and some new upper control arms and slicks. ill take more pics as time goes on just wanted to update it a little

i recently replaced all the rod bearings and new oil pump becuase something was screwing with my oil pressure. and now everything seems to be running great.

i finally got my rear main seal and my trans to stop leaking. and im finally finishing up the wiring, i took out as much wiring as i could plus the heat and a.c stuff and the blower fans. added a manual rack and some wider skinnies up front.

i bought a vacuum pump from GZ motorsports. the pump is a nice piece but i havent been able to really test it out yet. i added a line from the bottom of the catch can to the inlet of the pump to keep it oiled at all time. cant wait to get to the track and see what the car can do
