Car looks mint man, but imo, keep it white and pleeeeaaassee leave the interior as is, especially because its Madeira red and is rare as all hell Should be sweet with 6 litre conversion, good luck ---------- Post added 26-05-13 at 17:10 ---------- Oops didn't it last post, should be sweet with a 5.7 I meant to say

That's a nice example, im looking forward to following this progress. Maybe leave the radio if you want. I got a cassette that connects to your phone to play music in mine, it's ok.

the 6L sounds so much beafier than the 5.7L. Put a cam in the 6L anyday would sounds so tough.
