Cool hot rod build

I found these pics of a cool LS pickup build a guy is doing down south after I joined another forum to find parts for my Kingswood.

Thats neat. I am not one for hot rods, however I really admire the skills the patience of the men/women who build them.

I used to like hot rods, when they were done by one of the guys, used parts they could find, and so on. I never had one, but helped out with several builds. They used things like Cadillac and Lincoln motors, hemis, 283s, flat heads, even a few straight sixes. Today's hot rods have no imagination or innovation (unless they trick them out with electronics). All you see for engines are LS's, the builds are payed for by rich dudes that never get their hands dirty and are trying to win "best in" trophies.

Yep this 1 is being built in the shed by the owner he even Fabbed the inlet.

That is one kick ass custom intake manifold!

Cool. Are the carbs still carbs or just butterflies for fuel injection? It looks like it might have injector bungs on the runners.

He says that it will run the stromies but I clocked those bungs too and here is why. very big plenum so not sure how well it will all work but I just love it when people do stuff out side the norm.
