Default Tore down the car today. Pics/Video Inside!

Well heres phase two of my AI Heads/Cam 355 project. Cam is going to be a 224/230 at 112LSA. I want everyone to keep in mind this car literally just turned over 97k and ran perfectly fine before I tore into this thing. But I got bored and since all my buddies are buyin bikes, I decided to build a motor that will not nessicarly beat them, but certainly keep up with them. I'm hoping to have the bottom end set up safely for a 150 shot. Well heres some pictures.

Looks like you had fun. Working on a car with friends is some of the most fun I've ever had because, when you screw somethign up you yell, "Damn", then every one laughs at you and you laugh to, and when you work alone and you break something you either throw your tool and break something else or you have a minor nervous breakdown.

I believe it is a Comp XE of some sort. We did have fun, it's a lot of ball busting and having fun but the best part about us is at the end of the day, the job is done well and paticently. I'll keep everyone updated.
