Well some times the customers get a little weird in areas. Like we all know most of these projects aren't starting out the way they were supposed too. I almost renamed the shop to Snowball Fabrications cause that's what they turn into. Start small at the top of hill and end up huge at the bottom.

Big cams and blower whine aren't everyone's thing. Some guys want a reliable car/truck that they can drive to shows and have a little fun with, but not have to hassle with a lengthy and expensive motor build that at the same time is completely unnecessary.

Now, they haven't touched on anything being done to this motor, but I'm more than willing to bet that it isn't just some crate motor. It will have some bolt on goodies at the very least.

Personally, I love factory/crate motors. Some of the best and most reliable out there, that's why I chose one for my truck. 400+ factory rated engineered horsepower and matching torque in a smog legal, completely reliable, package. You really can't ask for much better for the money.

YEP !!!

I could look at it all day. Too bad it has to get all covered up. :(

Re: Bent Custom and Performance Back-half

Simply awesome. Very nice rear set up.

Re: Bent Custom and Performance Back-half
 
Now that is COOL! Can't wait to see more...

On another note, after doing some brake lines on my project, I have a MUCH greater appreciation for the tube/pluming work that you do!

Re: Bent Custom and Performance Back-half
 
Wow! You cantilevered your cantilever! What is the movement multiplier? And did I read the your trailing arms are built from flat stock?

Just wow!
