Geremy, just stop it. Im too young to have a heart attack. Seriously, it just gets better. Do you have plans on incorporating other items into your design? Like maybe a BEC built into an MSD ignition box, or a receiver or ESC built into an optima battery or radiator? Just the cool factor of components hidden in real looking parts would just be over the top. I have a feeling a fuel cell may come into play as well, or am I thinking to far ahead? |

This machine work looks crazy good. It would be cool if you could get a dual ended motor, run the pinion on one side, and put a fan out the front of the motor. The aluminum would draw the heat from the motor and then fan would be scale and functional found a picture for what I mean Last edited by klabeaume; 06-26-2011 at 12:59 AM. |

| Yeah, I thought about that too, but this seems easier. Anyway you do it, it will be cool to see a fan running under the hood. You could even have a nice shroud as well. I think it would a efficient way to keep the heat moving.

Here's a thought for the diz.. um, distributor. Everyone seems to either do a small block chevy ( dist. in the rear) or small block ferd ( dist. up front) Why not put it up front on a slanted angle so it could be a BB mopar, AMC or caddy engine? | |

A couple more pictures. I got the valve covers done and bolted up and really love the look of the engraved EXI. Looking more and more like a an LS7 to me, but by pure accident First, the inside of the valve cover... Installed on the heads without the intake... And with the bottom of the intake placed on top... |

Gerame...from a designer's stand point I am admiring your skill set and determination to no end...awesome work. From a hobbyist's stand point I am loving it and hating it at the same time....cuz now I need another set of axles. Great work man....power up...and mill down! Thomas |

I got another intake cut today and think I nailed it. It looks a little odd right now but after I get the throttle bodies installed along with the snorkel installed I think it will look pretty impressive. It is tight under the hood but what did I expect when trying to cram a 1:9 big block into a Jeep Anyway, here are some more pictures... In these next pictures you can see how close to the hood I already am with the intake. The throttle bodies will be over the valve covers in order to leave room for the accessories and radiator at the front of the engine... |
