  1. Glad you asked Ted Im actually planning on making a few differant types of induction units for this block , this one will be a full nitrous but I will make a turbo intake as well as a intake that will accept a blower.All of which will also be availible to everyone. Oh and Im working on main bearing today and there will be a brass gasket between the heads.......LOL!
  2. Thanks Jerry for your vote of confidence.
  3. I really like the turbo setup Joe I think you should stick with that and really stand out from the crowd. Keep up the excellent work my friend!!
  4. Brett you always seem to pull these off so effortlessly I cant wait to see what you have instore for this one Bro. Keep up the good work
  5. No his original question was scoop (nitrous) Blower, but turbo is another route he can take. any of the three would be a great build. My next ProMod will be turbo so I will have one of each, and yes I will build a custom motor for that one too LOL!!
  6. Chris you know how we work it man.... it's all the way or no way LOL! Thank Bro for your compliments and support. Hey PM me you number again I lost it some how. Hey thanks Bret I appreciate your input always
  7. Musta be te good suff in that burger I came home and was inspired to build like never before LOL! thanks for the compliments my friend and for opening up your home to us.
  8. Well I thought I was gonna get the crank and pistons done today but didnt, I did get the crank done though and I was able to true up the heads and block for a paper tight fit. heres some pics for ya.... crank stll needs a lil clean up ............ Heads and block sured up....see the tight fit between... a short list of parts..... thanks for viewing and I'll post more very soon...........
  9. WOOOOWHOOO!! Thanks Jim looking forward to them!!
  10. Thanks Rick but this is still the first time around on this block LOL! Its the same block just being refined Thanks for your sincere compiments Bro.
  11. Its your choice there are people running both nitrous and blower motors in these cars
  12. Thanks Dalton I appreciate the compliments
  13. I swear by Jims wheels ....I wont put anything eles on my builds.
  14. Hey Bart the aquairum epoxy stays soft so once the mold is made I will be able to pull it out and remove it. Thanks for your sincere compliments Bro While im at it I might as well add an update to this. I cut the valley into the block today, tomarrow I'll make pistons, rods and a crank. I hope you enjoy...... Come back for more later.....
  15. Hey Mike i really appreciate that entire statement , takes a big man to applogize so i guess from now on I should call you "Big Mike" LOL! And I apologize to you for our mishap which probably shouldnt have gone the way it did, thats all water under the bridge now so let move on to better things. Because of your earlyer comment I figured out a way to actually use the motor im building now by filling the inside of the block with aquarium epoxy untill its cast then I can remove it later. constructive help is always welcomed.
  16. Not to worry Michael this was truely constructive in nature. Thanks for your concern my friend.
  17. Hey Mike thanks for the advice , I was getting concerned about all the holes and how that would effect the out come of the mold. I will start a second motor that will take all of the above in consideration and will be made for casting. Actually im glad you brought this up as h it will help me go in the correct direction. Thanks again
  18. actually its not part of it will be cut and under the hoodline once the model is finished , for now its just sitting up there. They are really ruff and it will take some work to get them to finished product.
  19. Heres a couple of the chassis and body...enjoy thanks for viewing
  20. Hey fellas just thought Id give ya a quick update on what ive been up to. Ive been working slowly on the motor and parts trying to get them ready for casting, I also have the chassis mostly finished just a few bar and such left to add....Anyway heres some pics for ya..Keep in mind this stuff still has a ways to go before it finished.... motor block with water seleves..... This one is for Bart I think he asked about weather or not the block was offset on the passenger side..... the holes in the heads have been filled and will be re-drilled tomarrow, and the water inlet was added to the intake manifold.... added the oilfilter hookup.... Here im getting ready to add the crank , rods and pistons... yep gonna have em because this motor will be available as a resin kit that you will be able to show dismantiled... hope you enjoyed .....Oh ill be back with a couple more...
  21. Awesome work as usual Dave thanks for sharing with us.
  22. Glad I stopped in to see this one , who would have ever thought to use a A100 as a low rider? (oh I guess that would be you huh ) GREAT JOB love the paint keep up the good work.
