Wow! I think this is really neat build. I don't think I will ever be to that "level". What are your goals et wise?

I don't think the block will limit you...the heads on the other hand will be the issue. Just build a good belly pan and let it eat you will find the weak link. Looks like some good fab work going on here too in for more.

Op whats the blue car in the pic?, From what I can see if it, it looks pretty clean.

Awesome work by the way I am getting started on something pretty similar on my 99 T/A. Waiting for the short block to come back from the machine shop before I start fabing. Keep at it man, its going to fly.

It is a buddys 66 Nova that we built a 400 sbc and it was actually strapped down to the dynojet in that pic.

Got my intake in and used another dominator to mock up to the cowl and unfortunately I had to cut the SOB. I guess now I am going to have to use a Optic Armor windshield to notch it for the carb also. Oh well, its the nature of the beast. Also I dont think my VFN Sloped hood is goig to work and I really dont want to have to build a bubble on top of it. Anyone need a hood?? I am probably going to sell it.

Where did you get those blocks that attach to the engine for your coolant? I forget the proper name.

They're remote water pump adapters, and they look like AEI CNC pieces, Google them, they're not a sponsor.

Perfect found them. Which holes are the inlets and outlets? Or can you just feed water into both ports on one side then out the other side?
