Hello, we have 2 interesting cars:
'64 Vette, zz430, TKO 600 5-speed
'86 Fiero, heated up ZZ3, Corvette brakes on BIG rotors, Cryoed transaxle, lowered with home made rear coilovers
You can see them at

Interesting needs on the Pontiac build:
Need to move the starer from the right to the left side of the motor- some tricky alignment there, of course you now have no room for the oil filter, so that has be remote located.
No room for a conventional water pump, so that's been replaced with a CSR electric pump where the battery used to be so had to create a batt box in the rear.
No room for the original balancer- had to cut out and box in the frame
Original deck close mechanism wont clear the valve cover, chop it out and add gas cylinders to the deck.
BTW, we have thousands of miles on this thing, never runs over 190* actually has more room for mech work than the V6 and only weighs 30# more.
It was a fun build for my son and I (didn't hurt that I'm a machinist and he spent a year at WYOTECH in Chassis fab and HP engine courses).
