There was a question early in this thread if the Long Block would fit with the hood still on the car. So I assembled the engine with the heads, crank pulley and flexplate just to see. I left the hood struts on and removed the chain between the load equalizer and the engine to shorten the reach of the crane.... well here you geaux!!

Godzirra X2! One is for road course, the other is for Drag. Nothing like a 7-second street legal car with Air conditioning!

Stay tuned to see the Road car compete at the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Ultimate Track Car Shootout at VIR this month!
