Default New SR cast lid and blown 383 build update

I stopped by the shop to check on the progress -- the radiator is in, blower and alternator hung, intake/runners/plenum installed for the last time, rocker work finshed and valve covers installed for the last time, and the fuel rail upgrades complete.

The pictures show the test fit of the new aluminum half inch SR lid casting with the embedded C4 emblem. It will now be finessed, smoothed, and black wrinkle coated.

A new airbox for the blower will also be fabricated, it will be similar to the intercooler used on a Callaway twin turbo.

Thanks guys -- I cannot wait to get her over to Backstreet performance to dial in the BS3.

The entire front end is going to be sheeted in brushed aluminum with dzus fasteners.

Currently the last of the big items are being fabricated - aluminum overflow box, aluminum PS reservoir, air filter box, routing tubes and manifold for plug wires, endura -AN hose ends, etc...

I should have some good pictures to post next week!
