Default Picts from 406 Project, Corz engine, more...

Well, Corz motivated me to get some picts posted. The kid has more energy than the friggin' energizer bunny. My jaw dropped when he said he was installing that engine the next day. These projects take me months. So here are some shots...

This is me taking Coreys motor out of the vette...


Here's the new 406 installed. This is a 10.5:1 6in rods, hyd roller, protopline heads engine. Should be around 400hp with gobbs of torque...


New DeWitts alum radiator with dual spals ready for install...


Just a shot of the only engine hoist to load an engine into a small SUV set upon a perfectly fabricated wooden block...


And a shot of my Modine garage heater, which makes all of this possible...

you have a heater, and I need an A/C unit. In the high 70's low 80's today, so it's nice, but during summer it hits over 120 in there daily.
