Wally, good to hear your project is up and running. What part of it is frightening, though? You're not revving it past 5k are you ;-) and for news of another V8, those of you who made it to the Laguna Seca event may have seen Elvis hit the trailer early. Turns out the nicely CNC'd heads were CNC'd a little too far, leaving an aluminum foil thickness intake port wall. After a few sessions the coolant blew through into the port, day over. fortunately, the suppliers of the heads are replacing them for us. At this point, I think springing for a GMP crate motor would have been the way to go, not used.
