Default I Am Feeling Much Better (New Engine)

Engine-builder invited me to the shop today. It was "show and tell."

Learned alot more about the process; blue printing; engine balancing, etc. Saw all of the high performance parts; a matching set "Street Pro" going into the project.

Selected the engine colors, black and silver with yellow wiring. Agreed on the chrome parts and other minor details, including fancy sleeves on the hoses. Almost forgot about the yellow wiring. :)

Gotta wait another ten days or so, but it will be fast and extremely appealing to the eyes. :)

Well at least now you can go home and set in the car and say "Vrrroom, Vrrroom, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkk"
Burnout sound as good as I can spell it.
Hey, how far did you just spin the wheels? Keep us posted and show us some pics when it gets that far.
