Getting a bit closer (bling within).....

Well, we are getting a little closer to getting this done. Afterall, it's only been 13 months! Rob at Strictly has done a great job taking over where MMS left off. We just got the headers and intake from Nasty Performance (thanks Nate). All we're waiting for is the 9" from Billingsley and then Rob can start putting all the pieces together.

Here are some pics of the motor with the headers (the y-pipe still needs to be coated and we need to make a mount for the T91).

Thanks for letting me share (and vent)!

Intake looks sweet! I just ordered one from Nate for our twin turbo 427 motor that is going in the 62' Chevy 2!!

What throttle body is built for? Is it polished??

Thanks! It's a 105mm TB and yes, it's polished. You can actually see it behind the motor on the shelf in the first picture.

and closer....

Rob finished the fuel system yesterday. Gotta love it. Dual Aeromotive Pro pumps and all staniless steel -12AN hoses. 170# injectors. Racing fuel tank. It's good for well over 2000hp. Yeah, that should be just enough.

As soon as we get a couple issues with the turbo system worked out, we'll be good to go!!! Rob's working his hands bloody trying to get this thing finished!

Oh, here's a shot of the 9" installed
