Jesel's are installed now and the engine is finished waiting for installation. Because the engine will run a hydraulic roller camshft, adjustable rockers were not necessary. The FAST 90 is ported and the Nick Williams 90 Throttle Body is ready for install.
The T-56 built by Six Speeds Inc. is being installed tomorrow with the finished engine assembly and dyno tuning will take place before the end of the week.

The valve covers are a custom machined set that were for experimental use.
I am using better than average valvetrain components because of previous failures with both stock GM and lesser brand valvetrain components. In my last engine a stock GM lifter cost me the block, cam and some of the valvetrain.
Hopefully these parts will last.

I'm wanting Madman to set-up the suspension, but not to sure I can "ENTER" that property
Venum, the engine is built to handle 300 shot, but I won't spray that much.

Everything is back in the T/A and just a couple of things to be buttoned up this evening. It's on the dyno tomorrow for testing/tuning. If all goes well, the car will be on the streets Wednesday after a 9 month project to complete.

SLPSS99,
I run a 3" Stainless True Dual Magnaflow system on the T/A. I used to have a performance shop and a guy named Steve in our shop cut out the floor pans under the rear seats and created new pans that added 3" of clearance. That extra space allowed me to tuck the magnaflows and run dumps before the axle. The lowest point of the exhaust system is the header flange itself. It never bottoms out and sounds great. The rear seats are removed in my car because of the rollbar, but the carpet still looks stock in every way. This system will be hooked up to the new American Racing Headers.
Also the older Art Carr 4L60E in these photos is gone in favor of the newer T-56 6 Speed by Six Speeds, Inc.
