Not much. The intakes are on and we are working on mounting the coils to the intercooler spacer. The bling bling should be here today. We have a few things to do to them before they go on, but we are hoping to have them on tonight. Last few nights have been late ones and I'm running out of gas. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to get the bling put on.

Can you just do a Smurf themed design on the valve covers for me?

I would of banged Smurfet....

She may give you blue balls.

FYI.....the bling just showed up :)

I have arranged for some extra help to show up at your shop today. They specialize in bling. And one guy will help you keep track of your time more efficiently.

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh Boooooooooyyyyyyyyy.

Send them my way when they're done at your place... Fo Shizzle

I am sorry...I have already scheduled your help to come tomorrow to help finish their valve covers.

Here are a few updated pics. We ran into a few obsticles. The lower blower pulley needed to be cut down quite a bit since it was originally made to work with a 525. New pulleys are quite expensive, so we made these work. They used to attach with only 3 bolts to the balancer. Now, they are on a different bolt circle and have 6 bolts attaching them. No chance of them breaking now.

The next issue was the crank trigger mount. I went with a little less expensive serpentine setup. However, it didn't have a place to mount the crank trigger like the higher end one has. THat's was an huge oversight on my part. Because of that, I spent the last 1 1/2 days trying to figure out what to do and then do it. I needed to make a bracket that not only was strong enough to hold the crank trigger but not stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. After a few different designs, I finally came up with something that accomplishes both things. I still need to powdercoat them, but I can do that tomorrow. Once powdercoated, you won't even know they are there. I also had to make a new holder for the crank trigger. My usual one wouldn't work with this brakcet.

First pic is the original one that we use. The other pics are the ones that we made to fit these engines. Everything is still rough cut in these pics. I didn't take any of them all sanded and ready to coating.

One more shot of it from the back. I will post a few more pics of them all finished up once I powdercoat them.

Here are a few with most of the serpentine system installed, at least temporarily.

So badass! Nice fab work...

I now have a boner as big as Triple 300's Mufflers.....

TRL - post some pics of the before setup? We'd like to see before/after the bling...

Check out pics in posts #107-#109..those are the best I have for now.

Trust me when I say this....they already look 400% better..and valve covers, headers, coil packs aren't even on yet...

*****in !!!!!!!!!

Wow thats waaaaaaaaaay back .

These are the only ones that I have. I didn't get any of the front.
Eddie

Fresh out of the oven from getting powdercoated. Made a batch of Nestle Tollhouse cookies too.:evilb:

Us fat people need to eat.:lolhit:

Had to cut 1/4" out of the accessory pulley to compensate for the crank trigger wheel so the pulley alignment stay true.

Here are some shots with the crank trigger powder coated and installed. The serpentine system is permanently installed. All it's lacking is the sea pump, which I will have tomorrow. THey are starting to come together. They sure look different than they did.:evilb:
Enjoy.
Eddie

400% might be an understatement

Looks awesome!!

Couldn't help seeing that 37 OL in the background, any motors in that thing yet?:lolhit:

WOW!! What a difference!
:eekdrop:

Nice clean job looks great

I am impressed with the attention to detail! Thanks for all the pics and the updates. Looking forward to hearing how it runs!

You and me both!!! Engines are set up to dyno on Monday of next week and ship out to FPM by Thursday. That will give FPM a few days to install motors and Eddie will then fly out to tune. We are tentatively set up to fly out to FPM on 23rd.

This whole schedule sounds vaguely familiar.....like deja vu....lol. Hopefully this time we will have better results. :bunnydance:

Whoooooooohoooooo!!!:evilb::evilb::evilb::gfight:

Got my adjustable pickups from teague today for the intercoolers going to put them in this weekend , and then get them plumbed get the strainer in exh on drives on ect .

I hear the paint job on that thing horrible. Eddie told me he plans to put prius engines in it to punish you. Lol.

I'm taking your engines, thanks.

The Prius engines sure would make my drive decision easier.....

When I dropped my boat at Eddies, I got to see Eric's engines in person, they look awesome!! They almost freaking glow!! Some bilge mounted LED's will make them really pop!

So what your sayin is your getting as nervous as a virgin on prom nite. :evilb:

Virgin.....huh? They dont run in my crowd...lol. :lolhit:

But seriously, I am approaching this whole thing with gaurded optimisim.

Are we going to see an outdrive build thread following the first run>?

Did thew fuel supply plumbing in the hull get resolved ?

No, I think they are just going to chance it. :lolhit:

Now thats some funny stuff!:eekdrop:

Yah just leave it what are the odds :eekdrop:

Funniest post on OSO to date. LMAO :poopoo:
