Great welds, the color on them is so sexy Good penetration, those will never crack. BTW if those are repro valve covers they are 10X better than they were years ago! If they are original well then

Well I was going to post this sooner, but it's alive! now just needs exhaust and some finishing up of vacuum lines, then it'll be break in time.

Starting on the downpipe tomorrow, I've been collecting some nice stainless 3" bends and straight pieces for it.

Nice work. One day Spirit R/Ts will rule the world!
Another round of nice welding I may have missed it but what are you doing with you external gate, gonna plumb it back in downstream like this or just let it vent to atmosphere? This one is on the Rampage RT it's reasonably quiet, on the red GLHS it's to atmosphere and really noisy. Like jet engine loud. Kind of annoying, Good thing I haven't driven that car in years

I was thinking about dumping it to atmosphere under the car for the most part, but if it gets too annoying I can always feed it into into the downpipe. I've seen people go through the hood and that's something I'd never do on a street car lol.

Well the exhaust was finished up and I have been driving it around putting on break in miles.

Figured I'd do a little update to what is going on the car and how it's been running. Well the car spun a rod bearing which took out the crank and the rest of the bearings. Now the cause was a mistake that i did by not putting the head restrictor back in the block before I installed the head. So it basically starved the bottom end of oil causing that bearing to spin.
Number 4 rod bearing.
Now I've decided to go a different route with the car, I don't feel like getting the crank turned down anymore. So i have a 150k mile 2.5 T1 crank in perfect condition that I've decided to use. I bought some Srt-4 BC rods rated for 750hp and some custom forged Wiseco 2.5 pistons for this new engine. Now just to get the car back together and bugs worked out before SDAC 27.
I like your style; if ya blow it up, go bigger. What are you going to do for a calibration?
I like where this is going Wanna race a 2.4 powered little gold car at SDAC?
