I am selling the solid-roller cammed, 11:1, 468 cubic inch BBC and replacing it with a Scott Shafiroff 582 cubic inch. It will also be a Solid Roller, AFR CNC 335cc aluminum heads, 10.75:1, etc. Old motor was dynoed at 650 hp. The new motor will dyno at 850 hp! It should be a handful... but oh so much fun.

It has a turbo 400, Ford 9 inch, 4.11 gears, Dakota Digital guages, 3-1/2" exhaust (all the way out in the stock location), custom 17-gallon aluminum gas tank in place of the old engine, etc. I am planning on taking out the side vent windows for single-piece windows, new tilt Flaming River steering column.

I don't have any pictures of the interior on my computer. I need to take some. I will post some tomorrow. I built the dash out of aluminum and fiberglass and is covered in simulated leather.

Get some up when you get the chance. I'd like to check them out. Nice! That's one quick bug! Did you take any build up / progress pics when you were building you bug?
