It's a GEN V, the block is out of a 2016 Corvette. Has an LT4 crank, Compstar rods, Carrillo pistons, stock heads, and a Procharger billet intake, but more on that is coming later this year.

At least you tried, it's unfortunate that none picked it up.
It's been a little bit since we had an update to the project, we didn't have a video for September due to delays in the project and a lack of free time from my business booming.
The ARB and Wishbone still needed to be welded at the end of the previous video, I didn't weld them because the arms of the ARB are billet aluminum, and I don't have an AC TIG here, so I figured I'd just have them both done at the same time. I took them over to my buddy Mike's shop, Belfab Race Cars, here in Vegas. Once those were done we headed back to the shop to blow the entire chassis apart, everything down to a bare frame, and then MIke came through and welded the K member, back half, coilover brackets, and all the plates and bars. After the frame was good to go, we cut the floors out of the body to make room for the back half (it sits basically in the back seat area), and got the body test fit back on the frame.
In the next video we'll be mounting the body and starting on the cage, but for now here are some pictures from this months update.
And here's the video

This thread makes me feel like a bad person, I'm shooting for 1200hp and I'm not doing anything properly like this with the chassis. Lol
Killer build man, I'm loving it. Keep it coming.

Not nessecarily a bad thing, it all depends on how the car will be used, I assume your goals for your car are different than mine, so obviously this wouldn't all be required. Mine has to make sure I still kiss my kids good night after I roll it at 160mph.
Thanks for the kind words though, for sure will keep at it, at least for the rest of the year.
very, very nice work.....and you can eat off the floor.....pride in your workshop certainly shining through.....
Just fantastic work you got going on there. Keep us posted and keep up the great work !!! Love it.
Wow, impressive, I see you are repairing the weak link rear end problem. So I want to know will it have cup holder? Great work. I'm in.
TY.
It will have cup holders, a stereo, and heated/cooled seats (and be 2900 pounds) 😉
