Ok back on this finally. The car has been moved back into the shop. The heads are almost done. Cam is here, mock up motor has been dropped in the car. I can start making templates for the motor plate mounts. Starting to make progress finally. Now if the NHRA guy would just get back to me with an appointment date i can get the cage certed.


Bare aluminum block for mockup. Easier to move around

Looking good brother. This is going to an epic build winter!

Slow progress but it is progress.I love when new stuff comes in. My Wilson came back from porting at Thitek. Craig did an awesome job getting the ports matched to the heads.




Got to fit the wiring harness, coils, TB.....almost time to blow it apart and get the firewall done and engine bay painted.




I also managed to get the cage 8.50 certified,



Motor is done and waiting on the stand for final assembly,

I thought about it but I would have needed a $10k valvetrain to go with it.
