That's pretty cool, Dan. That cam sounds pretty mean! You are definitely making good progress especially actually driving it a little. What's with the sun being out and shining? Take pictures of that rare occasion as well.

Thanks Eric and Buddy,
Were getting very little sun up here. This engine will have plenty of extra power.
I have to add extra bit of pressure line to get the Steeroids hooked up. I currently getting the body line up with the frame. Lots of work!!!

Dan,

Looks great. can't wait to see the end result.

Just as an aside and you probably already knew this and changed some things, but the 600+ lift is a decent cam and stock springs won't cut it. So hopefully under those valve cover either are another set of heads or you at least another set of springs. And the 335 duration I assume was a typo and you meant 235.

Keep rockin'

Joe- Thanks for the compliment. Opps I fat fingered the key. 234. I using Patriot Performance Gold Dual Spring Kit. The stock springs are very whimpy. My buget can't afford heads yet.

Joe,

Do you have any videos or sound clips of the engine running? I'd love to hear that supercharged motor through those side pipes.

I don't want to hi-jak Dan's thread on the incredible job he's doing, but I had posted this last summer before I was done. I need something newer with the car completed.

Thanks...

I've never seen one of these sumps in person and I'm trying to figure out how fuel gets into the sump when the fuel tank gets low? Just by sloshing over the top? Are there some holes that don't show in these pictures? I know they work, so I must be missing something. Inquiring minds need to know....

Thanks,
Bob
