So were are the motor pics??? One of these days I will have to cruse up the road and check your truck out it is a work of art!

Thanks Mike.......just something about a RAT....don't get rid of it. that litte blower on mine small block just makes it think it's a big block!

BTW.....work of art is stretching it, but it sure is a labor of love or some type of mental disorder!
