Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

You mean you tore it apart and got sidetracked with Vettes. Now all you have is a 27 year old chassis and a turbo kit sitting on the shelf. lol.

sorta, took a lot more money than I budgeted, I got fed up with not being able to drive the car, and got side tracked with vettes...

I have the motor, transmission, etc. I just need to put it together. I need rocker arms, radiator, cam, pushrods, that type stuff.

I will when I get a job. I was about to start working on it and lost the last one, so it killed my plans. No spending lots of money on a project I dont even need with no income.

It should be running by this time next year now that the Vettes are gone.
