You should figure out what the author of the post "Carbon '72 C20XE Mini" did since he included about a zillion picture in his original post.

You could put them on flicker or something like that. Does anyone know if the Alliance includes more room for photos and not just the PM's?

That appears to be the trick. Load the pictures to flicker or photobucket and then link them into your posts, rather than attach them.

My new engine is running but Seven Enterprises took it out to a dyno shop that specializes in elec. fuel injection to do the finial tune. So now I'm waiting on them.

That is a nice looking piece(engine). Throw some sound files up when you get it in and exhaust is routed.

The engine wasn't actually run on a dyno. The tuner owns a wheel dyno shop and was the only one around with enough expertise to get it running via the ECU computer interface. Once I get the engine installed I'll take the car back to Shad's, put it on the wheel dyno for final tuning. So I don't have hp readings yet.
