Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have made some progress.

I finished the trans mount and got the engine bolted in. I also got the radiator mounted.

I got the fuel system done and got the engine started. I made my first YouTube video. Super happy about the engine running.

I also got all the brakes redone and packed all the wheel bearings. I still have to install the new master cylinder and the brake system will be done.

That actually sounded kinda good. I keep hearing horror stories about how the V-10 sounds terrible with dual exhaust, and some loudish mufflers..... "Two angry 5 cylinders." was the usual description.

Nice build! Are those long wheel studs I see on rear axles? Is the rear axle an 8-3/4" rear?

I agree, a nice big exhaust probably wont sound to bad, I've owned a couple V10s and they were wore out old beaters I bought to junk out but both had straight pipe setups on em and they sounded terrible. Viper heads and intake will probably change everything entirely too

Very cool build here to see the final result, is this a drag racer you're building or just a fun street toy?

Nice progress, I haven't posted mine since its been up and running but with the cam and large exhaust and muffler it sounds pretty mean for a v10. Out side of when I broke a rocker bolt.

Yea I plan on running duals to the rear bumper. I like the V10 sound in that you will know it is something different under the hood.
