FP Regulator Bracket turned out nice.

motor is done except I have to modify the charge pipe since the TB is a slightly different location.

Hey Tim how much power you think those stock windsor blocks can hold? mines a 74 non roller block just wondering what you think since you have run one for so long

I don't usually talk in terms of power....but more so in ET.

SBF Stock Windsor's can run high 8's before they start to break.

Someone locally ran low 8's with a stock windsor using a nitrous combo........

Can I ask why you went with that intake instead of an EFI? Cost, power,?

Drop it off to me, I'll weld it tonight and bring it back tomorrow..
My welds will look better then what is already on the pipe..

I'll drop it off to you tomorrow. I need it tacked first so I can fit it before final weld.

What time will you be at work tomorrow?

I'm here at 2:30pm. Only issue with tomorrow is that I wont be back in Farmington after tomorrow until Monday because of the holiday. I'm sure you will want it back before the weekend.

That's ok. I am actually gonna try to drive it to my Dad's house and weld it there.....just thought I could save myself the trip.

Next time I will take you up on it.

no, but I can't get on it yet until the charge pipe is welded up.

Its seems to idle better if that is a plus.

Now I need to reconstruct the entire cooling system as I have finally figured out my cooling issue.
