It's been several weeks since the Nationals and as everybody who attended there knows I drove my truck from Evansville Indiana to Hebron Ohio two days after she was completed. Including that trip and the last few weeks I've got 2000 miles on the new motor.....The job that Gary did on the motor is absolutely flawless! It looks fantastic and runs even better. We wound up re-building the entire bottom end with forged internals. Carillo Rods, Mahle Pistons. Balanced and blueprinted with a comp coupe cam, striker heads, Jesel roller rockers, XMetal throttle body, custome built XMetal fuel rails, and the list goes on and on. I hope Gary will jump on the thread and elaborate and correct me where I might not have been inaccurate. The thing I'm enjoying right now is the way the motor is breaking in and getting more powerful and fuller sounding in the exhaust note. Lets not forget the electric exhaust cutouts and the 50 other custom little one off details. It pulls hard and revs to redline incredibily fast. She runs cooler and by the seat of my pants feel is much faster and more linear than my previous build. I've attached the photos Gary sent me before they dropped the motor in, tomorrow I'll shoot some pics outside and video tape the exhaust note with the cut outs open. It is very impressive. Thanks to XMetal! Thanks to Gary and everybody at the shop for taking all my calls! Thank you for the 1000% satisfaction!
