That is a great looking engine. Very clean looking. I really like the 'lack of' bling. Nice

Might be a stupid question, but what is you reasoning for going with a carburetor... versus FI?

Very nice Todd. Almost a shame to put it in the engine bay.

Thanks guys...

Money and I really like the look. I'd have to go to a hogan or similar intake to make me happy if it was injected. Doubt it will happen anytime soon. The drivability would be nice but I'm sick of spending money....

It's notched but tight. I'll have some photos up soon.

Take a break -- you've been going non-stop!

Have some birthday cake! You can blend it with some carrots or something...

XOXO

Todd-


The engine looks awsome and I really like the way it works with the all black car. The HP numbers are great too. Get that baby back together and go tear up some asphault! Us midwest guys have a few months before we can go out and tear it up enjoy!

Happy Birthday Todd! That's a beautiful engine. And rare also. A wonderful choice in my (carbureted-big-block-biased) opinion. Mucho congratulations!
