At first I didn't do it because of the computer/injector upgrade. after I got started on it I did the upgrade to make this one live. So I scrapped a set of pistons which I could have sold the rotating assy and recapped some of my 540 cost. LOng and short is It would have cost no more to do it than I have in this one.
I was just down there monday and he had a 502 Mag with a BIG procharger on it and I asked what he was doing. He said it made a little over 800 HP when they first did it a few years back but since that time there are some new injectors on the market that will allow for more fuel and the customer wanted to get the horsepower up.
The engine looks great keep us posted.

Here it is right before I spent 7 hours on electrical gremlins and 20 seconds of running before a wrist pin seized.
I swear I hate this mutherf*cker!
P.S. Thanks To Eddie Young for his help Thurs. And hopefully this weekend.

Kenny,
Hang in there brother. Once you get the small issues resolved and get to running it the smile will be back on your face.
It sure looks good and I bet it will run even better.
Good luck and keep us posted.
