Default what ive been working on lately

My brother in law has a 2004 mystic cobra that popped the motor with 18k miles on it.. New motor was stroked to a 5.0, eagle crank, eagle H-beams, and manley pistons. Crank was studded, heads were studded, and it has Cometic head gaskets.

fresh from the builder


car sat so long it collected webs!


head cooling mod


valve covers on


dropping in the car


had to modify the block


and completed!

it runs right now, but he is still trying to work the bugs out of it, the motor blew up before he ever got to spray it.. It has a steigmeyer stage 4 port, on the old motor it made about 15 lbs and about 480 horse with a trashed motor.. now im guessing it'll make about 550 with just the blower alone
