Apache77,
WOW, be still my heart!!! What manufacture is the 632? Did you paint the exhuast or does KE supply them in that color? Reason for asking, I have a pair in black, nice but could be better.

I gotta agree with apache. For 25K you can have an 850+hp 800+ ft/# 632 WITH CMI tube tops. I'll post a picture of mine tomm. Merlin block, callies crank, Oliver rods, JE pistons, dart heads, Jesel shaft rockers, dart TR, 2X775 Race demons.

Apache77, very nice, very clean! I like BIG cubes N/A vs. blower apps too!
B4M/Mark, you thinkin' of gettin' a pair of them KE's? BTW do you see that Thermo Filter on the right front of KE's engine? Those things are very nice! That's exactly what I have on the front of my engines. Of course in the picture you don't see any hoses coming off of it. It has 4 out/inlets and takes 4 of the -12 oil lines. Two coming from the block and 2 going to the oil coolers. When those are on, it doesn't quite give it that clean look as shown in the picture. As matter of fact that is what we have been messing with a lot lately in order to get it plumed correctly and looking half way decent. Once the oil lines are on it looks a little "busy" as compared to the picture without the hoses. That's why it's important to get the fittings with the best angles as possible so that it has the right professional appearance/estetics and not look funky. If I end up going on Saturday (keep your fingers crossed) I will show you what I mean.
BTW, I would take the KE over the Merc too!
