That is what I was wondering. Whom ever built those engines knows what they are doing. Bad to the bone!!!

That day the motors ran 30+ miles to the first stop. The second clip "passing Mike and Joe" was about 10 minutes later.

I don't keep track of hours but I pull the motors after two or three seasons. I don't run a real aggressive profile of a cam but use Isky tool room springs, very good valves, and Tand D shaft rockers.

I also spend time on the details of the oiling system and don't run the motors real lean.

Tom said his ears were ringing when we got to Milwaukee but he kept sticking his head in the engine room shooting video.

I have to figure something out for the vent openings to let air in but cut the noise for the back seat. In the front bolsters it's not bad.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Sometimes you wonder if a project is going to be worth it as your busting your butt working on it. This one turned out good but 3 plus years is a long time.

Now that is is done "HOW MUCH" is the selling price...

kvogt 07-26-2011 11:01 AM

You won't see it for sale anytime soon. I built it for me.
