Hah! If only FTN supported photos, I'd send you one of my bookcase with it
sitting right there. Love the art in that thing.

No, though I do dig some of those conversions. I built a new LS motor,
ordered a block from GM and took it from there. It's an LS6 383 stroker,
forged bottom end, 102mm intake, cammed. Fun :) So it's quite a bit lighter
than the 400 and it's got ridiculous flowing heads. It also sounds great.

The trans is a Tremec T56 I had assembled brand new as well.
