Hey James, is the engine assembled? it sounds like you just need to configure the pulley's and such?  :working:

It ran 7.26 once(perfect day) but runs consistant 7.40s. That comes with hard launching on slicks and skinnies with a 4000 stall! Your car would be in the mid to low 12s just as it sits on better tires given the mph. Thats no slouch my friend plus the detail on your engine is beautiful!!! :2thumbs: :ylsuper: :burnout:

Thanks, I think I'm around 8.5+ in the 1/8. :bricks1:

Thanks for the compliment on the motor, I try to keep it clean, but been putting some miles on it lately.  The hood scoop lets a lot of dirt in.LOL

Hopefully the OP wil come back, I have some more pics for him if he needs something else.

How many blades on that fan? I noticed that you have an eddy rmp airgap. Mine started to run 210 degrees since I changed from factory to the eddy intake. Trying to get it to cool right.   :working:
