Beautiful work! If I may, I would offer one suggestion for the cage while you are at this stage. I would add a NASA/SCCA-compliant diagonal bar, just in case. The following is from the NASA 2019 rule book.

15.6.7 Diagonal Brace
One (1) diagonal brace should be used in the same plane as the main hoop. The diagonal should be one continuous path; meaning that it must conform to Diagrams 15.6.7a or 15.6.7b. Note- If the installation method from Diagram 15.6.7b is used, the builder should pay close attention to alignment. One end of the diagonal brace shall attach to the corner, or horizontal part of the main hoop above the driver’s head, within twelve (12) inches of the driver’s-side corner. The other end of the diagonal brace shall attach to the mounting plate (or to the main hoop as close to the mounting plate as practically possible) diagonally opposed to the driver’s head (passenger floor).

Nice work!

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about adding a diagonal bar so this info will be helpful! :thumbsup:

The new intake showed up yesterday and I thought you guys might like some engine porn! :hapdance:

Very nice 👍

Isn't there a satin silver finish to put on that gold iridite oil pan to keep the color scheme the same top to bottom? This is going to have a ton of torque, I'll bet!

Ummm, yes! Thank you very much! That is one sweet engine.

Looking Awesome Herb!

Thanks!

Thanks!
