Well, she finally arrived :D I'm talking about the Ram Jet 502. I picked it up this morning from Fed-Ex. I have pictures posted in my briefcase in my Yahoo profile......

I guess I'm a very lucky guy. It will have the potential to be a screamer but......I'm not going to race it. Don't think the tranny and rear axle can handle all that torque. I drive the elky most everyday, weather permitting. I go to a lot of local car shows. Not very many elkys in the car shows. There's one 59 or 60 model with a 700 horse blown big block that goes. He wins a lot. These shows are peoples choice type shows. The lookers get to vote on their favorite ride. The one with the most votes wins. I'll get a pic of the other elky next time I go. It's truely an awesome ride.... :lol:

That is very, very cool! I know you must be squirmin' to get that bad boy into the engine bay... Congratulations, that 's pretty exciting and on a smaller level (engine-wise) I can imagine how you must feel or whatcher thinking. The LT-1 I got for my '71 will be going in within the next couple of weeks, after we get the new suspension stuff bolted on, etc.
