Glad to hear things are moving again. 
I might have missed something.
But, where are you placing the new tank?
Under the rear seat bench or in the bildge?
How much does the new tank weigh?
You have been promising pics for some time now... He he he

OK lets get this fuker floating. Did the sea strainer today couldnt have come out better. Brackets and coolers all mounted and set in place. The trans is hooked up and ready to shift. Oil fittings were hung off the block also.. Installed the block offs in the filetr housing. Ned to get the water pick up in then plumb the water system. Fuel pump and plumbing is needed.

wow so much for a week, but ITS A LIVE. Gerry took a vid today cause I forgot my camera, so sunday I should have pics posted and vid by monday. man this is a BEAST ,I never had my ears ringing from a lil blurp of the throttle off idiol to 3800rpm wow. blower surge is 600 to 1100rpm sound just nasty with 5'' tails and 2 1/4 id header runners = about 2/3/4''od wow.hitting water this week to see what a 17 1/2'' X =3'' drive shaft height will do on a SABER28
. I think fine since Boxer raised his without a box to 3 3/8'' and picked up more speed mid 90s in a 31 sutphen 950hp. I hope the saber goes much better with the konrad ace xfactor drive. wow 1 year and 11 months. this spring need to add bigger or mod bolsters and cut outs for legs and extra gas tank.
