Heres the motor, if you look close you can see it has been ported so much that the caeb flanges on the jugs have been welded up to accomidate the wild porting.
This is a motor I ran in my open mod sled years ago... Had it laying around along with this chassis so I started to put it together just as a goof. Sure it won't be that fast as it will be heavy but it will be a looker........
This has been a challenge as we now have a rental home also and that keeps me busy also, time is limited for me to work on it

Ron, great to see you making progress on your project! How are you going to mount the motor? Mine has two thick aluminum strapps under it bolted to the chassis, like a motor plate would be. Do those huge pipes fit under the hood?

Keep us posted...

Love that girgle of the triples.

You plan on ovals or drags?
