From what you can see, the front valance looks a bit odd. Notice the fans mounted on the fender inner fenders.

Thats an interesting conversion, there were 2 other chev conversions i remember, both had removed the inner guards to fit the motor this seems to have avoided that...

There was an architect in the USA who bought the really custom rod one and joined the board.. must have been about 2003-04?

It should be a little too unbalanced for me.
Reminds me of the Ian Garrard and Ken Miles V8 conversion.
Must be about a 60/40 balance

It also looks like it's missing alot of the hood support panel.
I wonder just how ridgid it is?

Cheers!

i also noticed the fans on the fender wells? extra radiator? i talked to the seller, she says she is recently divorced and the ex left this behind. she says she cannot contact him but that he bought it in washington state not very long ago, interior is pretty gutted. i would have some serious questions about the structure changes. anyone in the NW coast area know this car?
