Art Laski Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Great work as usual John, also great to see you working on a Drag car again . 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!

Casey Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) 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...
