You better put Nasty Performance on there and 457 cu in. if you know what's good for you. I like the Nasty Performance better than HKE anyway. 99.9% of people won't know what HKE is.

Hahahaha the billet ones are for sale but the new fabbed ones will have the same dilema..lol


IT's all finaly coming together as well Heads will be sent to the builder this week Richard at WCCH was putting the finishing touches on them and then its GO TIME!!! Its beeeeeeen for ever. At least it wasnt due to my indecisions though...lol custom order pistons took a while and the crank had to be within bob-weight specs or we werent taking it so that took a while as well..... I see light at the end of the tunnel though!

I'm also going to be producing a signature series 408 for sale. Just a 408 n/a or FI , details to follow
