Cage is done. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. It was a pain in the butt prepping it, but it was worth it.

Engine bay is next.

Just going to paint what's been welded and filled in. I might scuff the paint up and try and put another coat on what's already there.

Martin,

How much money do you have into those LSA heads tempted to switch my 317's out for these since i heard great things but you can get aftermarket heads for around 2500ish

Around 1800 dollars in CNC work and castings then 250-300ish in valves. Almost wish I had just bought aftermarket heads now really, but my choices are limited by valve angle rules.

This was the biggest port/valve configuration I could find in my budget with a 15 degree valve angle which is stock valve angle.

We'll see how good they work.

I'd like to thank a new sponsor that has come on board recently with my build. The companies name is Trick Cable & Switch and they specialize in wiring and switch panels.

I was contacted by Craig of Trick Cable & Switch with an offer to build me a custom switch panel. I was planning and had already purchased an Auto Rod Controls switch panel and fuse panel.

Craig convinced me he could build me a better more customized switch panel to my needs. Let me tell you that he most certainly did.

We decided that two switch panels would fit my needs better and fit my car better. I just need to purchase a Leash Electronics 8 relay panel to operate my switches and accessories.

Without further notice here are some pictures of the two switch panels.

Yea me too! That's why Jonathan is wiring mine LOL!

He does a great job on wiring and makes it look like a professional should.

I've also decided I'm going with an A2A intercooler. I can't afford an A2W set-up right now and I have decided that non intercooled just leaves too much power on the table versus an intercooled set-up.

They don't allow Alky unfortunately or I'd have an engine driven pump and 8 350lb injectors ready to go lol.

I'm going to run a Treadstone 1300hp A2A intercooler.
