what all are you gonna do besides paint? swap? or anything? just word from the wise...don't try and build up that f22bx engine. If your gonna do anything just swap for h series or do a g22 build with higher c/r pistons

Motor swap is in its future just looking for the right swap... Bodywork is main concern at this point. Also going to do custom interior
