Buzz,
Beautiful poster ... complements the whole project very nicely 
Between the car and the motor, this is one heck of a cool project, looking forward to seeing it all come together!

Engine update: Keith is almost finished with the build. A couple small detail parts needed. We are going to use the FAST XFI EFI system for the hilbourn injection. I'm adding traction control to this build. The engine should dyno and ship in two weeks. This is a fun project and welcome comments. Darren

I need about 100 hours to do the wiring, interior and work out the bugs. "Sonoma" would be a great shake down drive. I hope David can finish his side of the project in the next 4-5 weeks. Per Keith, the cammer will be done in two weeks delivered in three. The only concern I have is the stack system install and the traction control. I might be optimistic with the 100 hours, but will have a couple of buddies on stand-by. Darren

Darren, is your car going to have the exhaust just poking out the side as in the poster? That looks like the ideal setup for those early Sunday morning starts in the neighborhood.  |

If I may answer for Darren, the Fliptop will have a full rear exit undercar exhaust system with the cockpit operated side exit cutouts for when he feels like raising a lil' hell.

Update: Keith Craft is finishing up the Cammer and will be dyno'd next week. It should ship in 2 weeks. With mild cams, we're looking at about 700hp.

The stacks will be cut to length when that length is determined. We have some shorter ones but they did not look as nice as these. They may be a option to be chromed or powder coated but like I said may just have these cut to length needed.
Thanks, Keith

I love tall stacks, I just couldn't quite imagine how those were going to fit under the hood.

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't, and I can't give you an excuse why 
Maybe I was mezmorized by it I couldn't think enough to take a pic? Thats a good answer |

Flip-top update: the cammer was dyno'd last week and is on it's way to Provo. Thanks Keith, 724hp is awesome. The body is filed, sanded and being polished. It should be ready by the time the engine arrives. Pick-up should be in a couple of weeks. Darren

I'll be posting pictures today. Sorry I have been tied up on other projects (like a 50 mile race I am getting ready for this weekend).
