Default Nice engine ... spec?

Nice engine; what's the spec? Cam etc? I see you're sticking with a Q-Jet!

Let us know how it runs! Great to see someone building an engine instead of going the crate route!

Those are fun moments! Motor looks great, nice work, nice detail. Frame and remainder of the work looks really sweet from here too. It might be a little painful to drive it when it's finished, but I wish you well.
