Well done

Me either. We were trying to come up with something cool to do on the covers and I was watching some show on TV and they were doing camo Hydro-graphics on gun stocks. As soon as I saw that I knew we had to do it.

The other thing is that I don't care for a 632 built with a 10.2 block. With a 4 3/4" crank in a 10.2 block, you either have to run a short 6.535 rod or a piston with a very short compression height. The short rod gives you a bad rod angle for an endurance engine and the short piston has the wrist pin to high. That's just my preference. I don't have a problem with it if you do it in a taller block like the Dart 10.6 block.

I was concerned about that initially but once it was together, I realized it wouldn't be an issue. There is sooo much air coming over the engine that it can take what it wants. The air is coming in the cage from everywhere.

Eddie very nice build. The new Ford 6.7 Powerstrokes run a separate water to air intercooler similar to what you did. That seat in front of that set up has to be a wild ride. Kind of like a lawn chair in front of a Jet engine. Doug
