thanks for all the positive remarks. I've busted my *** to make things the way they are, if its on my motor, it's been either bead blasted, polished, wire brushed, painted, or otherwise cleaned, if not all of the above. I pride myself in this car, it's like that girl you've been chasing but can't quite get together with for whatever reason: thats what this project is to me.

Of course I couldn't have done much more than plan out an awesome attack without help in the form of muscle, motivation, and daily *** kickings from my fellow staff members at Secret Services - Taylor, Scott, and Matt. I'm hoping to one day fire this thing up and let the world have it

Like I said last night it's looking damn good. This engine looks even cleaner in person. Looking at the other pictures right now I can't wait to see it when it's boosted and tuned.
