Hey Darren Looking pretty sweet!!! Love to see more pic's or video's.

Are you using one of the 143 cams from Jim & Rob? Sounds nice! I bought one of these for my L78 also.....
I might tryout the same exhaust system that you used for my L34 car....

Scott, on the recommendation of my engine builder and blessing by my "go to guys" Jim and Rob I went with a Comp Cams 11-218-4.

Darren, I completely understand and agree with you using this very acceptable alternative to GARDNER.

Does Parts Place make a small block version?? Will you show more pics of tailpipe detail and other shots.....

FYI.......Jack Seymour will be attending/judging at G.M.Carlisle, June 26-28th. Anybody attending and needing his exact repro 2nd Gen Camaro/Firebird hangars, suggest they contact him so he can bring your order.

Had it on the road tonight and it runs well. Now I need to break it in so Lombard is in order for Saturday. It was a great feeling to get behind the wheel after all the work and help from some great friends. My thanks to John P. and Steve at D&R, I couldn't have done it without you guys. I promise more detail pics to come as the pics I took tonight with flash didn't turn out so well.
