Looks great! Now tell us what's inside!

If I told you what's inside, the mods would have to move this to internal engine.

The inside looks like a chewed up Honda halfway thru the large intestine

Hood is still off the car at the moment. Waiting on a set of PR's to arrive so I can complete the motor. With all the tweaks, I'm hoping to have HP numbers in the same ball park as yours.

Completely missed the first part of your post. I'll try to get you some pics when I put the motor back in. Quite simple really. You might also try searching for "engine pull" by user Inspector12. Jeff had a really nice thread with photo's a while back.
