Default New 582 install progress

Still a door stop but getting there. Finally starting to look like something that might actually start.
Tons more work to go but more than 1/2 way through for sure.

Hey Mark, that thing looks nasty. I'm sure the performance will match the looks. Keep us posted.

Yeah, The drive set up makes it look more busy than it is-it's actually pretty simple, now that its all figued out.-1 belt per accessory.
Yes that air filter is not what I'll be using.

Awesome build! I presume you are shooting for 8's or low 9's.

Yes that should be attainable but for right now I just want to run 10.0 index. I only have a 5 point roll bar and I don't have the funds to get her 9 second legal right now-this build cost a small fortune Lol and that's with me doing most of the work. Track rental days are another story!
Eventually (in a couple of years) I want to have a 10 pt cage and a small shot of nitrous (200 direct port) so I can run the 8.50 index and still be streetable. The motor makes 958 hp on pump gas.
