The dark ones came for Trend's stock.......the shiney ones were special order and on the hurry up so they did not stop to get the coating. They are of the same metal.

Well if everything goes well we are putting this beast(hopefully) on the pump today.

Don't let Freelander go monkeying with it.

The suspense is killing me

It' is still being beat on.

quick update at this time 1194hp and 930tq. lem give me a call.

2hp/ci???

Daaaaaaamn !!!!!!

Good job Phillip

Mighty fine pile of tq to go with them horsies too.

Guy's

Everybody has worked really hard today, especially Phillip's employee Marvin. I think at one time about four of us were calling his name, saying Marvin do this, Marvin do that, Marvin go get this, and he was just in a tailspin from the overload. Anyway, we are NOT done, but we are at a solid and repeatable 1194 Hp and 930 Tq and the engine is 598 CID. So, if we can get two more horsepower and we'll be at 2 Hp/CID. There's a couple of things that we're going to try tomorrow. What's interesting is that we are using a cast TFS A-460 tunnel ram, not a custom sheet metal tunnel ram.

This engine is slated for Kristina Lawyer's dragster, so Todd and Gail Lawyer came over this evening and got to participate in the dyno session. It is also nice that Larry Williams is in town for a few days and I appreciate his help also. As always, I want to give a big thanks to Phillip Oakley for all his hard work in building this engine.
