:D :D I am finnaly getting my motor completed at the middle of June for my race car.Although it is for my race car which is a 1970 Blue GTO,It has been the main reason why my LUV is not finished completely;i.e rearend,roll bar etc..After I had blown up my engine in Carlsbad,Ca racetrack,which took out everything from heads to block :cry: :cry: :cry: I decided to make one more shot at spending a ungodly amount of money on an engine that will make me happy.The new engine will be 540inch B.B.Chevy.a big thunder stick cam(which changes the firing order)Twin dominators and all the other coolstuff you can think of for over $8500 8O 8O 8O .I am planning on taking it to Irwindale for some test launches;mostly 300 foot shots.In late June or early July.Then July 12 is the big dance wher i plan on maikng full pases at Fontana(California Speedway)that night.The new engine is expected to have about 920-950 hp so It should haul ass. :D 8O 8O .We are trying to run low 9.30s. :D :D My car is 3500lbs with 10.5 inch tires.Factory style suspension.So it is not one of those tubbed all aluminum cars.I hope to have pics and updates as time goes on.I hope you guys dont get to bored!! Thanks for reading,Michael Van Horn

Sounds bad-ass Michael. I guess we'll forgive you for ignoring your LUV.

For now anyway. :wink:
