Bad ***! That intake is awesome. What angle was the old elbow? I'm going to try and put one together. I'm going to tack it together and have it welded together.

yeah, WOW! That is jaw dropping, for sure! Sex on wheels. It's so pretty, almost makes you NOT to want to put it on the motor......almost, but not quite .

The welds and fab work are just plain sick!

We're moving. The main system is done, Shawn ran the CNC program on the heads/block for the double o-ring. Should go together in the next couple days.

Not sure if its a good thing but I'm too busy to be anxious. Between work and building my house I have been working 7 - 10 hour days each week for the last 6 months.

Cool. After reading the WHOLE thread, and knowing what you went through with everything, glad to see you on the back stretch! I am in teh process of 25.5 my GT, and I took some idea's from your cage.
Did you do all teh bending yourself? I know you welded, but never saw a bender in teh thread. I guess I COULD have missed it, but with your sig saying WolfeRaceCraft 25.5 chassis (am assuming it was a "kit" you bought from them or something???) but.....

I never told you (I never knew until I read the whole thread) Congrats on teh groundbreaking, and your BOY!!! Kids are great! My daughter just turned 4, 2 weeks ago, and my son will be 2 at teh end of April. Kids will change you (for the better ) and watching them grow is AWESOME!!! I am taking my daughter on a "date" at our Church in 2 weeks. It is a '50's theme sock hop!! I told her Daddy was taken his little girl on a date, and the smile on her face was PRICELESS. Everyday since I told her, she asks me, "Daddy, how much longer until our date?" It's great man, your gonna love it Phil! My son is playing with cars, carrying around his baseball bat and ball @ the house, just freakn cool!
So, I know you've been spending alot of time on teh house, work, car, so....
don't forget about the wife and kid!! Which, I know you don't (I saw that your wife goes to the track with you, packing chutes and stuff, awesome!!!)

Anyways, keep after Phil, and I am SO GLAD you did not go BBC. The LS maybe a pain right now, but you (and a few others) are pioneering it, and should be commended. The BBC (while a GREAT motor) everybody is doing it, and would have been teh easy way out. Anyone can make a BBC rock. 10 yrs from now, you will be glad you stuck LS

Thanks man, I started with a Wolfe 8.5 cage, called and added everything for the 25.5. They did all the bending. Nic and Jess always are at the track whenever we go doing their part. Oh and for the BBC, there is one standing by....
