    It wasn't too hard man I just used a couple of jack stands to do it because I did it over few days when I had spare time.

    The senator is looking great mate.
    I like the covers in red, they suit the smooth engine bay.
    Makes the new engine stand out more.
    Congrats in the build. Very well done .

    Thanks for the feedback mate, yeah I don't mind the covers in red but think I'd rather them in silver.

    So I have decided its time to do my diff, waiting for my tax to get back and I'm going to get a eaton tru trak.I Went and talked to diff guy about it he said hes done a few Eaton's into VS's and they have used a vt -vx V8 diff. So went and got myself a diff to get me started. I will be running eaton tru trak with 3.46 gears for now and i will upgrade to 3.9s when I can afford it.

    Awesome work!!!

    Lucky you have a T56 to offset the 3.9's in the future, rather than revving its tits out on the highway.
