I'm really interested in how you relocated the steering rack. Did engine mounts, and made room with the rear member that sit right where the transmission needs to go.

Thanks for the outside pics, and I don't mean to push, but no one else seems to have this done, and or talking.

I've got a bunch of pics on a bad hard drive, a friend took this one back in '03 when it was first put together, changed alot since, I'll try to find some more.

well I just picked up the motor and tranny for my V8 conversion. Its a built 360 that was originally going to go in a circle track racecar. I got the engine and also a 727 tranny for it oh and a tci 3k stall converter

. I just need to put a shift kit in the tranny and I was thinking probably put a reverse manual valvebody in it too. Idk about the different valve body yet though.

I pick up the 92 vr4 chassis on saturday and I've already started modifying a different cross member from a parts car so things are moving along nicely. I'll start my own build thread soon once I get the car that I will be doing all the final work to.

if you're not using the vr4 subframe...sell it to shooter. he'll give it a new life in a z11 chassis.

I'm using the rear subframe on it and the front I have to modify to work so I wont have anything that I'm not using.

Mine took a little break, I actually switched which shell I was planning on using, If I do complete it, its going to be with a fwd chassis that I've got sitting out back. The awd chassis I decided was way too nice to cut up so I started reassembling it, (it was stripped down to nothing, no interior etc) I just am finishing rebuilding the tranny now and I got a new transfercase for it also.

me and my dad once pondered using this:

"little" MOPAR 500 Wedge, 505 HP, 590 TQ

or we were going to "attempt" one of these kits:
Generation 3 Hemi Complete Install Kits And Drive Train Kits. Everything needed to install a new 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L Hemi, 6.4L "392" Hemi, 7.0L "426" Hemi, 7.2L "440" Hemi with 727 / 904 / 518, All Keisler Transmissions, and New or Used 545RFE Transmiss

with the 5.7
