    Looks sweet! It looks like you have notched the shock towers. Is that a 351W?

    Man, I remember that part of my build.

    I thought I'd have mine running in a week! :rofl:

    Congratulations!..... and .... were you a little timid about using the plate on the intake to lift your engine? (I know they've proven them in tests - it'd just make me leary)

    The plate welds is'nt what I would pucker about, it's the threads pulling out that stresses my roids...
