I used Herculiner/Rhino Linings... Yeah it's heavy but the whole can only weighed about 20~22lbs.. I hate getting dirty and didn't want to have to work on the car at the track or wherever and end up full of dirt/grease/etc...

So i sacrificed a few lbs in order to have a nice clean underbody..
Beside's i'm not gonna be as light as i'd like to be so i've decided to just make more power instead of worrying so much about weight...... hehehe...

Well the "heart" of my engine has finally been completed...

Thanks to Thunder Race Engines and NRS, I believe this is going to be an excellent engine..
It hasn't been started yet and the compression was unbelievable...

Enjoy a few pics...
