Last two for now.

Two of the straight pipes need lengthening
and two are too long but it will tie in nicely
when I "fit" the collector.

Big job but hey it needs doing!!!!.


Doug, thanks for the emails. They really help.

[tauruck]

Sid, I think you or Doug already sent me the link to the V12.

Sounds great but too much work for that kind of power IMO.

Some guy said that those blocks will probably crack and separate
after some real running.

Thanks anyway brother. It was cool.

I didn't expect you were gunna glue a cuppla Cleveland's together, but then again we have seen what you can do with carbon fiber!

Imagine if I decided to go the twin motor route?.

I can't find a decent spot for a battery in what I've got.

I have been to that movie!!

    Hmmmm! Two Buick straight 8's. Think of the crankshaft for that.

Things are looking up again.
Some work came in.

Just waiting on materials.

Betcha the flood gates will open now.

We're looking good for the next two weeks.

Thats the same for me, it's either feast or famine but if you look at the whole war I'm surviving. 8-)

Thanks for posting those close up views of the head.  I could not figure out what you are doing.  Now it is clear.  The inserts get rid of the funky stock porting and the allow the exhaust ports to be reshaped for optimum flow.  Good job.

Me too, Mike.
You'll get there buddy!

Bo, glad you figured it out.

It's an old mod that Jack Roush did with the pro stock cars.
These heads had waiting to be used for 12 years.

Frank and Mike, thank you.

I built this cool intake plenum a while back but it's 2" too short.

Wasted a lot of good material but Now proto#2 is in the works.

Prepping the mold for work later today. I extended the length of the plug
for the new part. We'll see how close we get this time?.

[tauruck]

All fired up here right now.

Willie and I are going to buy some Stainless Steel 4" bends tomorrow morning.
These are to connect the headers to the turbos.

He's been grafting hard at the disabled sports week.
1200 kids must be a handfull but the guy just goes through the motions.
He's hardcore and my best bud. He's got a few days respite so he's helping me on the liner.
I've got one friend and even though he's not that jacked up on racing stuff, he's here most mornings
for his "American coffee". No milk?. WTF?.

I have many sponsors but I have to say that Klingspor are the best.
When I was a kid all I wanted was a works ride on a Suzuki MX bike.
I know the feeling now. Brent Strydom is a special guy. I email and he's there for me every time.
If you're building a streamliner it costs big bucks and I don't care what angle you're coming from.
Abrasives cost money and in 25 years of getting my hands dirty Klingspor just blows the opposition away.
The product is the best, pure and simple.

We're making progress but I need to be more aggressive with investors that are sitting on the fence.

which one of those kids won the race
