Cool PWT V6.9 -- Power Plant

Well, it took me two years of saving money and buying parts, but I finally got the 418 long block complete.



January 2005:








January 2007:





Looks like Project White Trash may be getting a transplant soon.

Are you sure that was '03? I didn't join the old board until 2004, and it seems lik I remember when you bought that motor.

Hmmm, it may have been only two years ago. Maybe it just seems like it's been that long since I had been tripping over that block in my carport for so long.


EDIT: I checked back on some old threads and found that it was Jan '05 that I got the motor. (I guess I'm getting forgetful in my old-age. )

It will if I can ever get my stupid headers.

I should have it in with plenty of time to tune it before April. However, it will be making an N/A debut since nitrous would surely put it well beyond the legal limit for a roll bar.

I almost forgot about that.

I just went with ceramic-coated MAC 1.75" long-tubes. I know it will likely be a restriction in the upper RPM, but right now I'm really looking for the motor to shine in the lower RPM range. Besides, I really didn't have $1200 to spend on a set of 2" headers right now. Maybe once I get at least my fuel system upgraded and cage installed, then I may work on bettering the exhaust.
