1890 Sidepipes
A set of mean pipes. This is my friend's grandfather. It was taken in the wilds of New Mexico.

Yours Truly
Measuring to fit the tail lights properly. Notice the clear lens to more closely match the (ultimate) white paint. (I had to slightly modify the tail lights to pass inspection, but I think I still preserved the 'clear' effect).

Chassis Rear
Rear view of the West Coast chassis. 9 inch, live axle with 2.73 gearing. 11 inch ventilated brakes. It's heavy, but extremely rigid and makes for a FINE road car.

Chassis - Front
This is the front of the West Coast chassis. It was designed to accept (as standard) a 460 engine. Mine has the optional 7 core radiator. Flex-A-Lite 150 fan (2800 cfm). A very heavy but rigid frame. 11 inch ventilated discs. Got it as a 'rolling chassis', so the build quality and alignment of parts are not questionable. Rides like 'on a rail'.

Naja's Interior
This has a larger-than-typical cockpit. It is VERY comfortable. I have driven for over 2 hours at a stretch and could have gone for 2 more. It has 10 gauges with 13 functions and a 45 w/ch stereo/CD (for when you stop), cruise control for long stretches of highway and a/c for the hot, muggy Houston summers. B&M Star shifter on a C6. Chrome extinguisher has real halon in it. The keepers for the harness tabs have "Naja", "evolvere" and a cobra embroidered on them. The seat inserts are simulated snakeskin.

Naked 533 cid EFI
A look at Naja's powerplant with most of the 'accessories' off of it. Atop is a 1200 cfm Accel throttle body, then a Torker II manifold (a significant restriction for this engine), to the new Edelbrock 6066 aluminum heads, 65 lb. Siemens injectors (supplied by an Aeroequip pump). Custom grind roller CompCam with .662 i/e lift, solid lifters, roller rockers under the custom valve cover by Innovation West (only ones like them in the world). A medium stoker with .080 overbore gives 533 cid. Wiseco pistons have 18cc dish to give 9.8:1 compression ratio. I was surprised when the redline was set at 7k, but the 2 people doing the engine work said it would have no trouble handling it.
It dyno'd at 491 hp (5200 rpm) and 548 ft-lbs (4700 rpm) - remember the Torker II being a huge restriction. It was built with reliability (first) in mind, then for torque. The lowest rpm that they data logged during the dyno was 2600, and it was already doing 525 ft-lbs.
This powers a C6 tranny leading to a 9 inch, live rear end with a 2.73 running gear. Haven't run it on the road much, but have gotten over 15 mpg on two, short trips. Spark control completely MSD including 7AL-2, Pro Power HVC coil, billet distributor with Pro cap. All of this is managed by a SpeedPro ECU. It idles at about 950 rpm.

Refined Brute Force
Brute force, artistry, or both? 533 cid, EFI, and more artwork lie under the 'bonnet'. (See engine details with the "Naked 533" image).
