Thats nice. What are the blowers worth?
spewbt1: already got an injected 5.0 and TH700. Good fuel economy, nice power, heaps of possibilities with this motor.

u can get a s-trim vortech (can make over 550rwhp) from capa second hand with warranty for $1600... but then u need brackets and other ****, conservative minimum 4g to put it on your car... worth every dollar, vortechs make a head turning whine that a turbo will never outdo

very nice but ure top engine covers r the wrong way round, the cut out in the ends is meant to be at the back for clearance for the heater hoses.

I know, its all good lol :P. the covers were only thrown on for the sake of the photos, where i stuck 'em was where they went. My cousin was absolutly desperate i sent him photos. theyre off again now to finish all this mucking round with wiring and hoses. Thanks for the heads up tho.
