Build update
Engine block Merlin III 10.2 with billet mains. Callies 4.375 crank and rods. Ross pistons, custom solid lifter cam, AFR 357's inconel valves, Accel DFI. Soon as the machine shop (Performance Marine) gets the parts and machines the block I will get it for assembly and take pictures. No rush we have all winter to dream....

We had a 72 XKE E-type with removable hard top in the family, was a v12. very cool little car. it was red, sold about 15 years ago was original drivable but needed a little work. i remember it being pretty fast, but think the last time I rode in it I was your age. That was 30 years ago. it got put in storage and then 15 or so years later took out and sold. I hear they are worth a few bucks still. That sounds like a fun project.
Do you do paint work also?

A fast cat at that. Nothing on Seneca lake will take it, that's my goal the fastest boat on my lake. That does not count transients of course. There is always someone faster... But I do have race fuel and more boost available.... Now the holidays are over parts should start coming in...

Somebody has to be bringing a 28-30 cat with 300's. In a 2' chop.....that's the race I wanna see.

a 25 with a procharger I think he runs 110+
A 27 Daytona with a 525 runs about 92 dead even race with me last year, so 90mph is more like it...
And a 28-29 profile with a big blower sticking out.. Rumor has it he runs 115. there is a Fountain with twin 1075's I dont know much about it but its long and fast. That may be the race
Ok, you are killing me with the pictures.. Yeah believe me I cant wait. Kind of putting the horse in front but I promise a picturer of the Procharger in a few days just to post something....
