    Well, I'm not planning on doing a progressive build thread, but here's a sneak peak at what I've been up to...Engine Mock Up 20121110

    Engine Mock Up 20121111

    Engine Mock Up 20121112

    This is what has been occupying my life and last $XX,XXX for the past several months! Jim Inglese of Inglese Induction set the Weber's up for E85 with the help of Rob Mix. There are a few fitment bugs to sort out, but I have just about all my parts and final assembly is not far off. I cannot wait to dyno it!!!

    The van is getting makeover #2 and #3 will be done once the van is back on the ground for good. Call me what you want, but there is a reason why I will not unveil the van until it's complete...ish. I don't mind posting more engine stuff, especially the dyno tuning!

    Yes, quite a bit. As a matter of fact I just stripped the undercarriage to prepare it for media blasting.
