wicked, are RT doing all the work? i'm really liking the reversed manifold action

nice...should be angry...

yeah dan they are.. it looks unreal in person. Cant wait for it to be finished

The reversed manifold looks stock which is awsome and i get to keep the A/C

Fark yer! Thats going to be one angry mofo

Looks good.

How come you didn't sleeve the block as your going for big power?

Paul, i bought the complete engine off al so it was already assembled. If the need arises it will be cheaper it labour then ripping apart a perfectly good engine

paul, can you pls explain to me (in plain english if possible ) about this "sleeve" thing thx.

sleeving just lines the cyliners with strong iron liners that means it can hold more boost
well thats as far as i know anyway which isn't all that much :P

Yeah basically thats it. Stops the cylinders from flexing which the 2.5's are prone to at big boost levels.
