Good lord man, that's a thing of beauty. I scrolled through all the pics before I went back and read everything. The pics alone should be labeled auto ****. That's a pretty engine!

Yes, I've seen those, but yours doesn't seen to have that extra big bump on the left like the one in the link.....is yours an earlier version? If so I like it better......as long as it clears OK.
