I know it is easy enough to do engine turn, but to do a 1/2 inch pattern straight then cut the panel to fit the gauge cluster as perfect as they did is another.

It cost 275 to have them do it, I sent them the cluster with a template to guide them. I had to do some serious trial and error to get that template to fit just right. I think I could to engine turn,but it wouldn't turn out dead nuts perfect.



I will also be adding more pics of the motor and the build of it. I will also post pics as soon as I accomplish more on the car.

a couple more random pics

ya i would rather do it and screw up a few pieces of metal instead of paying $275

Joe.... those are nice numbers !
That Goat should fly.... and sound great doing it :thumbsup:

Pontiac65 Always install a xe cam ""straight up"" due to the A simetrical lope disighn the xe cam reacts 5 degrees smaller in the low rpm and 5 degree,s larger in the high rpm. im no engine builder , but Mr -pbody aka CVMS one of the wel known pontiac engine gooroos ou there loves this xe cam series and did my engine as wel. he wrote a piece on the shortblock part in J hands book . got a 461 stroker with the xe 284 with 550 hp! and 580 lbs Torque

I think the motor will be fine, to be quite honest. The motor wasnt just built by me, I also had a older friend who has been building race motors for years guide me.

Just a little teaser of the engine bay

these are just some of the renderings that were done in there early forms.
I dont want people getting all my idea's.

Mmmmm that's nice. Feel free to PM me some of the engine pics, I need all the ideas I can get.:unibrow: :thumbsup:

I will put progress pics up soon we have been battling this car for a while now.
It is SEMA bound and I just know its going to turn into a thrash to the end.
