Default New Motor Is IN !!!!

After several Months of anticipation , the new motor finally went in last night ! This BEAST sounds "MAD" ! This is one BAD MO_FO ! She hits HARD !! There have been alot of changes to the car since she was down . I don't have all my pictures up yet but do have several in webshots (which is in my sig) . I'll get the rest in there later.

I would like to thank L.M.E. . Pecos & Brian are just freaking outstanding !!! They put in alot of Extra time on this set -up , particularly the heads . These are LS1 241 castings which flowed 340 cfm on the intake , more than some LS6 heads that I've seen .
I also thank my friend Ernie for helping me install this beast & my brother Mike For overseeing the install (making sure I didn't screw anything up ) . Now to get her all tuned up & hit the track ..

Bad *** Rob! That kit looks really familiar I cannot wait to see that beast run! My car will be back at the shop this week, so you can check out Kevins work on my cage.

I'll be by the shop to check it out .. Now, I'm going to buy about 15-20 nitrous gauges and mount them all inside the car , it's going to look like some kind of experimental lab in there . Im not going to take a chance and lose this motor !

Congrats to you Rob, I know you been looking for this day for a while and hope for the best when you get to the track. Good luck for your quest ET's and would like to see it run when I come home in Dec. if the track's open...

Congrat's to Pecos and Brian for another built successful power plant. I would like to futher my project but for now, its making money and for my newest project building my new custom home on our land. My wife told me that after she get's her home, I can have whatever I want for the car...So look forward Pecos and Brian in the near future on building me a MONSTER setup....

Rob, give me a call..
