Grady, I actually order the plain aluminum (prefered) rr but they didn't have any instock and I could get the blue ones, which were instock, 2 days sooner. I figured what the hell, I can't see them anyways, so blue will do.
Everything is great in COBRA LAND! Engine pics!!!

I figure I have about $6000 in it. Thats right down to the bolts, motor mounts, waterpump, etc. You know all the stuff besides performance parts that add up.
Please don't tell me what I could have bought for the same amount of money because I KNOW. lol I didn't plan on going this far with every little detail (new basically top to bottom, including all bolts, etc) when I started. When I started it was going to be cheaper to do what I was doing rather than buy a motor from DSS or something like that. I guess thats how the performance bug goes.

Looks awesome Tom, I would love to do a project like that soon. Recently I have been pricing H/C/I packages and they're still way out of my budget.
Looks very clean though, which is what I have come to expect from you

There's a lawyer around here with what looks like a DOHC or SOHC V-8 as a table in his office. Actually it's more just under the table than part of it, but it still looks awesome. I didn't get a good look at it to see what it was, but Im guessing it's expensive since I've seen BMW's, Mercede's, Maserati's, and a Porsche Cayenne S in his parking lot before.
Edit: It's actually in a plexiglass crate with a glass table top and it's a Maserati DOHC V-8...
BTW, the engine's looking great Tom! Can't wait to see that thing sitting in the engine bay.

WOW that looks nice. I love those valve covers and intake. It's like the updated look for the modded 5.0. (Instead of the usual edelbrock/cobra intake w/FMS covers, ect. Which is good btw, just doesn't look as good and unique as that.)
VERY impressive.

I have a few mags right now waiting for me to put this thing together to check out the car. Not sure if MM&FF will want to reshoot but at least it will be updated in some other mustang mags.

looks great!! my only advice is to paint that greyish piece of the dizzy black.. comes off with 2 screws and makes a huge difference69clark said:MM-Jeeezzzz, let do everything you want to do! lol Here it is.
Already painted it cast aluminum. It is hard to see how good it looks because you can only see the inside, which I didn't paint.
That my friend, is a marvelous piece of machinery. This is inspiring me to finally get off my as* and finish my engine. As of now, I have like $2000 worth of parts sitting under my bed waiting for a home in my car.
