Its been a long road because I didn't do it right the first time. In 11 years ive built 4 motors got them up and running than pulled them out for something better, first a holden stroker then a 550 hp 383 chev, then 1000hp 400 chev with 871 and now im settled on a approx 800 hp vortech 400 chev and no more that's it!!!!!!!!!!

Now the new setup is up and running ready for a dyno and rego, just fitting the new dash atm. waiting on a electrician to get the wiring up to rwc. I do love neat standard cars and have respect for quality ground up rebuilds. But I love early birds that have gear in them that shouldn't be there :)
Im having trouble posting correct size photos, ill put a heap up soon once complete and put all the specs up with them.
