I sent Jim the "lesson learned" page which covers the bracket and the pan connections.

Default Completed Engine photos and initial run
It is finally done!

Attached are some pictures of the completed engine and a link to a youtube video of the engine starting up and running on the stand. It will be shipped next week.



Now all I have to do is get everything here and start getting my hands dirty.

It sure is!

Ross and Blas,

Thanks for the information. I will be making those adjustments when the engine and car arrive.

The next could of weeks are going to be brutal as I just sit and wait.

Please let me know of any other issues you encounter during the installation. A photo or two and a brief description and the fix if possible, and I will add it to the lessons learned section of the Owner's Manual. Be sure to read the section in the Service Bulletins document on how to protect the components under the hood during the placement of the engine.

Blas,

Will do. I read the part in the manual concerning protecting the frame and other parts during installation and will be following those guidelines. Thanks.

Your engine sounds angry, and ready for a fight on the race track. Congrats.

Yes it is a solid roller with a custom ground cam. The cam peaks at about 7500 rpm; nice lobe separation!

Have not had the engine on the dyno, planning on putting it on a chassis dyno. Estimates are about 450 HP and 380 TQ. It should do well and keep me competitive. There will be some people with deeper pockets who will be running about 485 HP, but those engines will be in heavier cars so my HP to weight ratio should be good.
