Talking 8.1L Big Power is here!!!!

After a week of dealing with 2 trucks with trans problems. I walked into my shop and see two brown boxes setting in the corner. I looked at the top one and see Raylar on it. I instantly ripped the box open and see a aluminum head in it. Pulled it and gave it a good looken over. They very good quality well designed. As soon as I get home I will take some pix and put them up.

I wish!!! The machine shop has the block ready to assemble. I going to do some miner bowl blending on the heads and the intake is still on its way. I'm hoping in a month I will have up end running and tuned. Its had to get anything done when you spend most of your time out of town.
