I replaced the Heater Box with an Alum. Plate. Needed more room for these Monster Heads...:)
 
Norbs, here is a pic of the underneath of the Turbo Bracket ( Mike Special ) and the Master Cylinder Rod for the Manual Master.

Joe,

What kind of valve material are you using on the exhaust side? Doesn't look like Titanium. I was wondering if it's inconel or a super duty valve of some sort?

Neal
Hi Neal,
Confirmed that they are Iconel Valves. The guy told me that they cost him about $80 per Valve. Apparently he spent well over $800 just on Valves.
 
Joe,

Thanks for the info. That's what I'm planning on using on my Stage II heads also.

Looks good! That turbo bracket is pretty slick. So, when do you think you'll have this beast running?

I had to put the car on hold for a few Months. I might get the engine started in October. But by then I will just store the car for the winter and continue on finishing it all the way with the 10 point cage, Chute and Wheelie Bars. This way I have nothing to think about when May comes around. I am going to try to hit Bowling Green next year if God's Will...:)
 
Here are some more pics I am working on.........

You guys can still get small cans of R-12 freon I'm jealous! :D

Neal
No Neal that is r12A which contains Propane and butane, which is banned in many states, but legal in Canada. It makes a nice spacer too.
 
Holy God Norbs. Looks like you have more work than I have left.. Get off the couch and stop eating scammer Bears..lol Get Brad over and make his hands get dirty..:)
