If only your punctuation skills were as good as your customising skills, perhaps I could make some sense of this post.

Gee, thanks for the update Roger, I was able to understand it ok, punctuation skills look ok to me, but yes lots of photoes please This would be good for Zeeman then, lol  The V6 is a good way to go, but does lack the characteristics of the V8.

Ok looks dirty, but all clean now.

Looks like a good way to go!

How does the V6 width compare with a V8 Chev conversion?

How much room is left between the engine cover and the steering column?
