I just ordered four. One of them will be put in HM 1031 somewhere. Thoughts and prayers out to CJ.

OK here is one. The first time I drove this thing I had a 6000 rev limiter chip installed. I have an engine that will turn 7000 in a heart beat. I just was being conservative at first. It revs up so fast that you cannot watch the tach until you are used to the car. Stuff just happens too quickly, so quickly that I plan to install a shift light. I got out on a county road, no title,no

I only have experience with the man-o war 8.2 deck ford block that comes with a 4.115 bore and is meant to be finished at 4.125. It is a massively built block. I will be assembling it in the next 3 weeks or so. It needed to be line honed and by the time the decks were 90 degrees to one another and parrallel to the crank bore centerline the deck was only about 8.193 which means I need to cut the pistons but rotating assembly is balanced already so I will just go with a .051 gasket from cometic gasket. My machinest says that that is common with aftermarket blocks. Go for the AL block! Good luck!

Free body buck to good home. This thing supports the body at both ends and across two areas in the middle. I am in the St augustine area.

Sounds good. I talked to a guy who works at Goodyear in St Augustine who is in that club. It is a beautiful whit Cobra with FE power.

Thanks. It is mini cooper  british racing green metallic . The hood scoop was done by Don Barrys in Jacksonville. I spent a lot of time and money to make the engine breath so I wanted to be able to fit a large air cleaner on it.

I am calling it done for now.

Here is an engine pic. Nothing is polished nor will it be. I am going for the strictly business look. I need to replace the pvc pipe prop rod and lose the fuell pressure gauge or neaten it up. The plastic overflow can may need to go as well. I just want to drive it some for now. I had to crop the pic to get it small enough to post.

Engine pic is too large. I will work on cropping it or something. Gotta go for now

Here are some more pics. I still have more work to do under the hood. The PVC hood prop must go!

done (almost)
