it's a 572 now getting my hands on that manifold was task tho i never expected getting a manifold would be so hard for a bbc but being a tall deck and the heads i have made it a chore to find the right manifold even then i had to go and port the complete manifold. i just want to run the dam thing lol so to answer your question chris lol probably not till the end of january i'm waiting on my headers from lemmons and it won't be on the dyno till the second week of january ?(my engine builder expects to see 1040 or more out of it i so hope is right) after that i have to get my converter and so on and so on why does this have to be so friggen hard lol.
so bottom line the first week of febuary i should run it and have a time slip in my hands oh i should start a passtime thread lol
oh and to top it off it's to tall for my hood grrrr but i have a friend that owns a body shop putting a aero scoop on the hood should look cool tho

It's not shiny paint and chrome goodies that make for a beautiful ride - that motor and the car and the color scheme, and the fact that it'd prolly scare the hell out of me, all make your ride a sweet piece of work.

Forget show car comparisons - hotrods aren't meant to be polished and stared at, they're meant to scare people :smt003

I think your's will do that once you hit the track - that's a beautiful and wicked looking ride.
