A Peak Inside The Engine Of The APE Shop Car Here is a sneak preview inside the powerplant of the APE Shop Car, now dubbed Project Black Mamba.
Our goal is to have it fired up and testing within the next two weeks, our second goal is to run 7's at the Thunder Shootout in November, and after who knows.
It will be a 359ci Iron Block with our big daddy Procharger F-2 strapped to it. With any luck we should be able to make north of 1200hp at the flywheel with this set-up. Stay tuned for details.
Pics can be seen here.

Looks nasty! Ive got those same purty rockers and those valve spring size look very familiar LOL.
Next motor for my cars going to feature a callies crank and GRP rods... giving the Lunati stuff to my little brother for his 422, am I good older brother or what?

Hey Chris, Curious why you welded injector bungs in instead of drilling the bosses on the GMPP intake. They seem to be in a good spot as cast, did you do it to move things a little upstream because of the boost?

Thanks
Thanks
Good luck, and keep us updated! 
I know that this is a stupid question, but is there even any possibility of that intake fitting under a stock GM SS Hood??? 
Also, what would we be looking at price wise for an intake setup identical to the one in the picture intake/elbow/throttle body (without the fuel rails)?

Nice to see you again Mike, Automag it was nice meeting you. See you at the track I'm sure for Thunder.
Still lots of work to get her done, engine should be all buttonned up tommorrow night.
By the way Mike can I get my Chevy High Performance autographed as well?
