Okay great info. Perhaps a 4l60 is in order to get a speed of OD without having to go too invasive. If this were a keeper I'd go full into it, but not sure there is a return on investment from a 4speed OD to an 8speed in the open market. If I was building for someone already in mind, sure, but...

Appreciate all the comments! I may just take a 3d scan of the dash I have and then model something custom and mill it out. Might be less work than the Ralley dash haha. Love the front splitter on that Demon above!

I'm curious how the Rallye dash fits vs what is in there, as the Rallye appears to be a much longer, once piece, whereas what is in there now appears, at first glance, to be a piece that just contains the gauge cluster and doesn't overlap with the radio/ac control region.

Appreciate the comment!

Thanks, I'll have to check out that thread. It sounds like the tunnel needs to be opened up to support the 8HP70 transmission then?

Great advice, and I'm inclined to agree about the approach. Thanks! And if you have any good pointers on sourcing missing parts, like those for the headlights shown above, I'd all ears. Obviously google provides some options, but curious if you all have any preferences. Cheers!

Also curious about where you recommend sourcing body panels from. As you can see I'm missing some front-end components.

Looks like a heck of a project, and love the shop dog photo :). The body looks straight and clean on that one too, nice work! We have 3 dogs here, and about to adopt a senior 4th as we lost our last senior dog a few months ago.

I believe this tells me it's an actual Demon that came with either the 6 cyl or 318 originally. The engine inside it currently has a 340 marking stamped on the front driver side of the block. Anywhere else I should be looking>?

Totally understood and I respect the viewpoint. I think I'd only do it if I was going deep into the pro-touring build. The bumpers on this are pretty high already, so I think I'd only do it outside a pro-touring build if it prevented the exhaust from being the lowest point.

@clementine This is one we're working on now. LS3 going in with a new transmission, A/C, new suspension, and then some custom 3d printed pieces for the fuel system . Also doing some custom badging to replace the 327 since it's a 376. I worked with a font artist to create a full font with those...

Shows how little I know of these A-bodies haha.

Yeah I'll likely pull the body off and clean up and paint the frame after sorting any suspension/brake work. I'll also run some new lines and make some nice line holders/hangars too. Once that's done I'll blast and paint the frame and then reassemble. Then I'll get the wiring and missing body...

Right now all I have is the car, a rebuilt 340, a transmission (not sure what yet), and rear seats. The rest, wheels, tires, interior pieces, at all stuff that will need to be sourced. So it can really go in a variety of directions. My gut is pushing me towards what I call as a Stock+ build...

Ah gotcha. That's what I thought you meant, but wanted to clarify :). Thank you!
