The hatch didn't shut. Had to put the oval cut outs and yes the arm was very tight fit. Always something lol

Thanks need some rigging will still be very clean. Very happy with the motors and build on them. The flanges are for clamps to hold the tails on. cigarette says 8,700, I say more.

I agree with the thought of building a 540ci (or larger) with a decent forged bottom end that can handle some boost. Build it with lower CR and run a thinner HG to raise the CR back up some and it can be used NA, put a fatter HG in there and you can drop it down and run boost. Running NA you can meet the goal of this exercise, WHEN you get have the funds and get itchy for more power, just change the HG and add the blowers and you're all set to make some bigger numbers.
