My son is 21 and is a welder so he makes pretty good money and still lives at home. He not only helps with the work but is cutting my build cost in half. It will be all his some day anyway.

We fired the motor today. That 468 is so nasty. I put a Champion radiator in it with dual fans. Guaranteed to cool 850 hp motor.

Eagle Crank
Eagle Rods
10.5 to 1 Pistons
2.19 Stainless Intake Valves
1.88 Stainless Exhaust Valves
Dbl Springs
Ported and Polished Heads
Victor Jr. Intake
Proform 850 Race Carb Bored and Honed

Hearing it run just makes me smile

I'm making my all stainless exhaust today. I made the flanges out of 3/8" stainless. The exhaust tubes are 3 1/2" and I used a 4 1/2" tube for the outer body of the muffler. I bent the turn downs on a 5.25 radius and I will cut them later today. Hope to have them all welded up and will post pictures tomorrow.

You can always record a video and upload it to youtube and then post a link here. That way we can see and hear the car.

I put my exhaust on. Its too loud. I am going to order some inserts from Smileys and see if that helps. They look great though. I took some pictures but my phone keeps failing to send. I will put them on as soon as it works.
