No Joe you can't have it.

It will eventually be welded back in now that the motor and transmission has been moved back 7.5".

I have the stock tunnel cross brace I drilled the spot welds out of and removed if you want one of those.

Does it make more sense now, why, it temporarily came out?

I figured you had a reason to the beautiful RS work

Yeah... and the pictures are a little bit to crisp and focused... maybe next time cover the lens part way with you finger!

Seriously... the work on the tunnel is looking good

How is engine placement in relation to front wheel centerline now?

This gives you a good idea. The balancer is behind the rack and the front of the block is at or just behind the front axle.

You have front axles? Man I gotta get over to the shop and see this!

I thought you were running dual quads??

OK fact checker you know what I mean.

It's like referring to the KPI, King Pin Inclination of your spindle when you don't have a Kingpin.

You can still find reference to portions of a spindle as an axle

JerDog. Eventually.

I ran both setups on the dyno. My 701hp on E85 was made with a single 4150.

Back to back on Gas the first weekend on the dyno we got close to 25hp more with the dual quad over a single Dominator and about 35hp more than the single 4150. I don't own, or have access to a pair to borrow, of properly set up dual E85 carbs so I don't know what the E85 single vs dual quad hp difference would be. I'm sure the duals would also make more hp on E85. The intake is just a better overall design.

One day when the bleeding of $$ slows I'll build a matched set of E85s for the dual quad and it will go on the car. Just for the cool factor if nothing else. For now I'm just running my single 4150.

Im asking Santa for new valve covers. What kind are those? Maybe I'll get lucky and he can deliver them with a motor attached.
