Once I get it running on all its cylinders and fix the leaks...

I think it did really well.  I didn't push it too hard because of the injector issues but it's a fun machine!  Lots of compliments and thumbs-up.

I wonder how much it weights. It don't look like it'll be much. Especially with the all aluminum 5.3.

I put it on the Cat scale near the house, front and back on different pads; wouldn't even read it.

Going to have an old friend come with his official scales...  8)

definitely looks sweet out on the rocks!  I bet it felt really good to finally get it out there.

I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...

Any stock piece would need to be stretched. I'm waiting until the intake swap (winter project). I need to wheel it!

Injectors woke this engine up.  Way smoother and far more power.

Get the front axle to stop leaking and I'm ready for more!
