Thumbs up
Not quite engine bay shots, but a few pictures of Supernaut's engine on the stand. Lots of Cerama-black coating set off my chrome and polished accents

We're also doing this build right for him---- new engine harness, ignition harness, plug wires, all new gaskets, o-rings, copper crush washers etc etc.

His engine was fine, but we pulled it to reseal the leaking front cover and oil pan and the project kinda snowballed from there

It's a stage 13 clutch made from the flesh and bones of little children and aliens. Nothing else could hold up to the power of his 20b and foot made of lead

My clutch feels fine... very comfy to drive on the street but it was supposedly rated to a much higher torque then what i have and it slips:/

to_slow, very nice setup. Is a turbo going on that perry engine? I'm assuming since you have a plenum. What type of numbers are you looking to make with that bad boy?

Turbo for sure.. will start with a gt45bb and go up from there if necessary. I will be happy with 700hp- 900hp to the wheels on e85...

Thanks

Here is mine. I know it's just 'stock', but I am very proud of the elbow grease, along with cuts, scrapes and scars, I have put into cleaning it.
