The build is progressing slowly. I need to clean the shop and roll the bitch outside to be pressure washed. :o

Small touch but it might be cool if you paint the little injector retainers red...anything besides the rust look they have now

Did you ever find someone to build you the hotpipes?

Lol you're right! I assure you it's an optical illusion though. They are truly as brass as can be, but regardless I might just paint them red, or even better, black. Good eye on seeing those my friend.

And yes. Finally got hold of Kyle at KB racing, he's doing the entire kit

Kind of a day by day update.

Bought this for my dad as a birthday present, only weighing in at 6 pounds!

Made out aluminum and accepts any GM bolt pattern for torque converters. Also being so light, it has the capability to withstand over 2,000 horsepower. Not bad

And the lumpy bumpstick came in as well from Lunati.

Enough to make parts start falling off of Fords whenever it rolls by.

Honestly though, 1500 crank at the max, so...... 1250-1300 WHP? Would like to go play with Red Dragon.

Trying to get six bolt heads. Might be willing to trade my WCCH's and cash. Really want new heads though. :/
