*****UPDATE*****
Engine got dropped off at the machine shop today! I cant wait to get this monster back and drop it in! They said they need about a month before I get it back.

Luke your GLHS is gonna fly big-time. i'll be at the track to hopefully videotape your 10 second passes.

any plans for the body/paint/interior? what tires will you be using and what trany?
what axles?

[SUPER60omni]

The body and paint is good enough for now. All the $$$ is under the hood. As for the interior its all mint except for the headliner. Proly having the cage put in soon. i know damn well its gonna exceed the cage law this year. Im gonna run the norm 24.5x8 or mabey 8.5's with STOCK axles and my 520/555 hybrid tranny. Im gonna be a little nicer on the launch this year I know the stock axles will hold if you dont rape it by side stepping the clutch like I'm famous for Its probly gonna annihilate the slicks through the 1/8 if it likes the big direct port shot its about to receive

[SUPER60omni]

And 10's would be a HUGE accomplishment. but I dont see that happening. Its gonna have major traction issues. It should roll low 11's with a ridiculous MPH. Im not about to cut up and alter the hell out of the car just to get it a few 10ths faster. Its still my streetcar as far as Im concerned. It looks stock from the outside. Just a set of rims.

[Marcus86GLHS]

stock axles? i am surprised, but you know these car well.

glad you are not hacking up the car and keeping it stock appearing on the outside that will fool enough folks.

any progress pix you can share?

for people following your build-up here's a couple pix i shot of your GLHS at last September's Mopar show/race at LVD:

[SUPER60omni]

You took those! hahaha......thats the best the car ever looked!! I was lookin at those on sdacne.com wondering who took them. Hahaha you can take some good photos marc because the paint on that car really is not as good as it appears in the pics. Thanks!

I'm with you on this one! Good luck!

[burnt_toast]

***************UPDATE******************

Motor is almost done. Should be ready on monday. Block is bored, honed, cleaned, new o-rings, and the bearings are drilled and rods are fitted to pistons. Crank was just cut today and just needs to be final polished and dropped in and have the rotating assembley put together. yeeeeHaaaaaa!!!! Should run by next weekend!

[beejie21]

Sounds freaking sweet! How much has the build cost you so far?

[SUPER60omni]

ummmm just the parts for the bottom end like $1350, and Im not sure on the final price on the machine work and assembly....like $700-800.

[cawcislo]

Price of bulletproff shortblock $2000.
Top end $1500
rest of car $1500

The look on others faces as an omni tears up the track running 10's - Priceless...
