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!

I love that you did the work yourself in your own garage in the elements (sort of). sweet that you got it all sorted and now it sounds sweet.

Kudos to you

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.
