Update:

Been building my spare engine that I will use later on this year. This is built to handle over 800 HP. This pic is before I pulled the rods and pistons back out to alter the pistons domes for my lean burn pre-chamber.

I was going to gut the car and get the weight down from 3180 with me in it to 2600lbs with me in it, but I have change my mind and will keep it the same weight and more of a all season street car that will run a low 9 second 1/4 mile.

I also have been building and modifying my back up transmission. It will be able to handle the extra power with the usual shift kit valve body mods plus a Kiggly 5 disk front clutch etc.

For fuel economy and performance I will be removing some disks on the Low/Reverse Clutch.

I'm still running waste solvent in her for my daily driving. My fuel economy suffers when using the waste solvent averaging around 40mpg due to the low stoichiometry of the solvent make up, but it only cost me .03 cents per mile on the average.
