At least they left enough of the X to let you build off that as needed.
It looks like you’re learning as you go, which is good. I hope the other side is in better shape under the wheelwells.
Hooray! I know it’s tough on cars and people, good luck!
What does that say on the grill? If I was closer I’d be all over that.
I think I’m the first one to subscribe to your YouTube channel. Hoping for more...
That’s good news - hope it stays smooth on the road!
A longer shot, but I’ve seen a fan mounted a little off-center due to oblong holes cause a vibration issue.
Night desert driving, no AC - I used a beer cooler with ice water and a washcloth, wiped myself down with cold water every 20 minutes or so, I had...
So I think I understand the EFI side, but what spark plugs and spark sources are in play running nitro? Will you have two 8-plug mags? If so how...
I think he’s talking about basically two flywheels back to back, the inner one skeletonized to just a starter ring, the outer one interfacing with...
Very sad - could you TIG fill that and file it back down? Or would that be too sketchy?

Good company there!
Strong is good but you don’t want one piece to be much more rigid than another, because then it just transfers the stress elsewhere and other...
Yep - good, I’ve seen them for Hondas and such; it seems like they would help this motor especially under boost.
From your name, I have a question - are you going to make a deck plate for your motor? That seems to be a performance limitation for these.
Wowzers. That motor with all the shiny stuff looks great. Does that “broken belt retainer” thing get extended, or is it the correct length?...
Do the sleeves have to come out for that relieving? And, will you be relieving the spare sleeves the same? Earlier you mentioned being able to...
Yeah, I used to watch top fuel pits as a kid and wonder what they were doing. You explain the reasons and tech well, keep it up please.
Can you explain the double drilled deck (what does this mean?) and blower positioning (where and why?) Great job as always!

Looks good. How is the front grill and chrome? That’s my favorite part of this model.
For the low-speed street driving.... Can you make a graduated non-linear throttle gear for the first quarter of travel? Or a separate throttle...
Make sure the tach drive doesn’t interfere with other things at front of motor - fan, hoses, frame, etc. Electric drive seems easier but yes...
This is looking good, I think just some dimpling of the firewall to fit the head would be needed. Why do you want a mechanical tach vs electric...
Back to the slicks in the trunk idea - I’ve seen SUV’s with a normal hatch plus the part below the hatch also hinged down, to allow load-flat...
Tasteful mods, me like.
I’ve seen slider windows that use the stock window track and lift from the bottom, using a seat belt strap (wrapped around a cleat so you pulled...
If the area where the sleeves are are solid, and the block is designed to hold water, where does the water go? Are there water passages in the...
There is a free one of these in Edison NJ on Craigslist right now. https://cnj.craigslist.org/bpo/d/mercruiser-470-engine-37/6404082916.html
