20 gallon fuel cell showed up, ill
be putting a 450 inside of it.
currently my nova has a rear mount radiator, I’m trying to decide if I should keep it rear or move it up front.

I wish I could gather the pieces as fast as you man!. I'm getting ready to start stripping the car down soon and the MWC Fab 9 ordered will take awhile so it looks like my build won't start to come together until the fall. I'm still undecided on a fuel but I'm leaning towards C85.

Nobody is as slow as i've been this time around with getting an engine together. I've been stockpiling parts for my next engine build since 2017 !! and i'm STILL waiting on a set of rods to arrive. The tracking says they made it into my country (finally), after 2 months waiting and i thought USPS had lost them because the tracking info had vanished for a while.

Super interested in the High compression screamer. It's on the next "to do" list. On a less grand scale, but still.On a side note.... Have you heard much about the Advanced inductions head company? Apparently they fill the CC on a factory head for $200 each. Was considering having them setup of cheap set of 706's. See how much compression I could get out of a factory long block 5.3 deal. I've heard you can get them down to around 53cc without milling.

I haven’t heard of that actually, you’re saying they will weld up the chambers to gain compression?

****, couple hundred bucks and not loosing ptv clearance that’s a no brainer. I’ll certainly look into that when I go aftermarket head.

I remember years ago the "patriot" heads use to weld up the chambers to raise compression. I don't know what ever happened to that company or why more people didn't go that route instead of doing extreme milling. I always figured there must have been an issue with doing it since no one seemed to do it anymore.
