    It is a Bell core and it was $900. It will support a touch over 2000hp.

    GES Engineering did my last two engines and they lasted a total of 15 years with no problems. Looked into possibly using some board members, but they never got back to me with quotes. Probably for the best.

    I would say that your are correct. Sounds like your group has your stuff dialed in!

    Car should be on the road next month. My original block for the build was bad. Got another one. The final assembly on motor is occurring right now and then off to San Diego Auto Fab for final assembly. That long block ran me 17k so that wasn't exactly easy on the wallet. Got somewhere in the neighborhood of 45-50k in this car and it still needs interior and paint. Should be posting some pics and video within the next month. David

    Updates...

    Paint still needs to be cut and buffed and the wiring is still going together. Should be up and running next week :beers2:

    The lighting was bad so the pics came out like crap.

    What? No AC or power steering. What kind of luxury car are you building? :laugh:
