Gant,

Thanks for the pity bump.

As usual, we haven't had any time for real progress. We've been doing a bunch of CAD work and the redesigned front uprights are coming along.

We've also got a new powerplant with the "correct" number of cylinders for most guys around here.



It's a 4.4 liter (268ci) DOHC V8 out of a Volvo XC90. It's stock rated at 315hp/315ftlbs. I talked to a good friend that works at the engine development lab at Volvo and said that if you remove the four cats from the stock exhaust it'll put out closer to 350hp.
