Great work as usual John, also great to see you working on a Drag car again :D . Quick question, what kit is that blower manifold out of ? I dont remember ever seeing one that the blower looks like it actually bolts to the manifold

Brett, the blower is from the Revell '70 Chevelle 3 'n 1.

...and John, you made it look AWESOME!

Superb work....your application of Alcad is second to none!

I was just thinking the same thing...it really does look like a lot like chrome.

Maybe I missed it, but are you planning to use different headers than what was shown earlier?

Ok John.... I have to tell you the first 3 words that came out of my mouth when I saw the engine together...."Oh Holy Crapola!" lol Man This build just gets better and better. You are the man. I really need to have you show me how you make your belts. they always turn out so nice. I am loving all of the detail you are putting into this build. Keep it up John...
