Wait so it's the 460 cube motor with the PI heads?

Did you sell the mozez heads and marcella intake?

I knew you were going to the charger, but I thought it was the 396 cube motor you used in Shiz's car for the pump gas drags.

We never had a Marcella sheetmetal intake, he did do ALOT of welding on the one we have though.

Same motor as last year ... 460 inches, Mozez heads, 2pc 4500 Cary intake.

Shiz pump gas motor was a 408, Shawn Strauss has that.
My old 396 is going into a Firebird and he may run some R/S stuff with it.

Welcome to the club & good luck.

I just switched from N2O to a F-3R, injected alcohol and it's a huge project!!
It should be worth it, but man it's a lot of work.

Can't wait to see what it runs. I switched to turbo and alcohol this year myself. With all the new combo's it will be interesting to see what the learning curve is.
