Don't worry, They are just for mock up and to see where I need to space the EWP for belt alignment.

BTW, most of the components for this build come from the sponsors on the right --->

...such as Texas Speed, Abear Motorsports, Finish Line Transmissions, SDPC, and Nitrous Outlet

Lets see. GM LS6 heads (799 casting not the 243's) with stage 3 CNC porting and no clean up to the chambers or milling (64cc). Flows are more than 300cfm at 0.500"...have to dig up the sheet at home. Valves are Manley stainless steel 2.08 / 1.60's.


Oh, and before someone asks, general cam specs: 248/254 .615"/622" 112.

Oh yea, that engine removal tool does well so far:
