finally thats it for now.

thx guys. man that was alot of work trying to post this.:)

GOOD LOOKING CAR KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

are you doing the chassis work? lots of skill there! attaboys go with that work! zbob

thx guys. man that was alot of work trying to post this.:)

Just to remind you about the lifter bore , Rodger @ Jon Kaase said with the better material on the block that the lifter seize up cause of lack of oil in the casting so they recomend bronze bushing. Don't want to see that happen to you & have to spend more to fix it. I have the Eliminator Block that good for 2500 + HP. I'm gong to twin 88 or 91 Turbos. I have the A-460 heads & 9.0-1 Diamond piston with JKR Turbo cam. But I like to sell the heads , piston & cam to Buy The BOSS 9 heads or BLUETHUNDER THOR GEN. 2 , to do something different.
Thanks & GOOD LUCK on the Build.

Very nice work. I only dream that my car can come out looking half that good.

Deliveredfast,

Looks good Papa John ...... but with all that flow you are going to have w/ those heads ..... that chassis isnt going to certify to 7.50's ......you need a couple of more bars in there ;)

are you doing the chassis work? lots of skill there! attaboys go with that work! zbob

Hey gerry, I'll be too fast to hang out with denaro.

deliveredfast...the oil pan on your beast, is that the moroso eliminator pan? what for oil pump are you using? thanks Jason

deliveredfast...the oil pan on your beast, is that the moroso eliminator pan? what for oil pump are you using? thanks Jason

Hey Jason, yes it is the moroso eliminator. I was trying to hide what I was using for my oil pump. It is hv melling. But I knew some of the guys would jump on me for not using the better kaase oil pump. I'll upgrade next year.

Those old front wheels and tires need to be upgraded, they would work good on my car. so send over to the other side of the state. Lookin good Pizza Dude wish you could get it done for Norwalk!!!!

charles you dont need no stinking kaase pump a melling will be fine - i waisted 500 $ on the jeff johnson pump and its no better then a stock one

charles you dont need no stinking kaase pump a melling will be fine - i waisted 500 $ on the jeff johnson pump and its no better then a stock one


i dont want to start a pissin match with Gerry but i would definetly get a kaase pump .... my oil pressure has never been this rock solid before ...less money the the jeff johnson billet .... but worth every penny ...just my .02:)

btw the way yalls cars with the a-head deals should have me covered by 4-5 tenths on motor :)

that fogger plumbing is from a small block. I order new SS line to redo it and clean it up.

That is gonna be sweet! The powdercoat on the rearend and motor really look good. Nice job on all the fabricating.

Thx, I did not do most of the fab work. And the motor is spray painted. Its metalic blue with some clear coats on it. I like the way it turned out though:D thx again.

Well here is the final sweet spot I found for the motor to sit in the car that will allow my headers to work. Its a lot higher than I wanted, but its just about where my last motor set in my last car.

It's cool. Sometimes it's good just to stand around the "man zone" and BS. Thanks for the offer on the help.

Charles, Here's the link to the video of my friend putting his Mustang on the bumper. Small block with spray- sorry guys. ENJOY!!!!
