Default V8 Rear drive mini

I was looking around the internet for some info on these cars and came across this site. I thought you guys might find this interesting. I'm building this car for a customer who thought it would be fun, I think he's right. It has a 355 small block mated to a 350 turbo run through a 10 bolt rear end. It takes a lot of hacking to get this stuff in here, but it's coming out pretty well for the space allowed. (I'm trying to upload pics but can't seem to get it done I'll try back later.)

Sorry guys the owner has been very busy and these things take time. I called him when I seen your requests and he said it's going to the paint shop next monday. As soon as he starts reassembling he's going to send me some pictures and I will get them posted asap. He wants to have it back at my shop in a month for me to build headers and driveshaft so I will at least get some pictures then.
Thanks Dan
