Time to spruce up the looks of your engine

Couple of questions........

Why didn't they use a Big Bore Single Blade Throttle Body? Also, why didn't they polish the "U" shaped piping?

Thanks, Sharon.

J, I really do not have a answer regarding the throttle body. To sum everything up - Aric is going to dial it in and put some miles on it. Then, dyno tune it, and if the numbers look good, done.

If not, I am sure he has a trick or two up his sleeve to get things where I would like them.

Aric buffed all the IC pipe himself, and was only going to do the parts that show. The bottom cover was going to take care of hiding that pipe, but he said yesterday that he was going to take it back off and finish it.

lol, I said the same thing about the rest of the motor needing a good cleaning and to tidy up some stuff like those ugly battery connections.

Very nice build IMHO.

I spy SS tranny cooler lines. Was that part of this build or the tranny work? I'd be interested in the source for those.

I'd ask him to change that red oil line hose to black.
