Welcome to the forum.  Great pic, looks like if you get tired you can just lay down on the couch and take a nap.  Great to have you here!

Welcome aboard.  Looks like an awesome project.  I'd love to see some pics of your 280 as well.  Is it a hybrid?  And does anyone else remember when that wasn't such an evil word?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!  I'm still in the middle of the project, but my buddy took it to the exhaust shop today and drove it around a little....I guess he was mighty impressed with the power!!

As far as my 280 goes..I've already pulled the old motor in preparation for the small block I'm getting together...so yes, it will be a hybrid!  Here's some pics of the car and it's previous set-up...
