UPDATE:

So I was doing some thinking. I came up with a color...not only a color, but an entire theme. I'm working on the small details...but ya'll gonna love this. It'll take the month to get everything done right, though.

Now just working to see what I'm gonna do about the motor and stuff. I'm highly considering throwing the b18LS in it, still, and doing some minor work on the head, but the rings are a little leaky. Not sure that I wanna be out of a car for that long... BUT...it would give me time to polish the block and hide some wires, maybe possibly. I just hate trying to stuff a b-series in there with AC...
