That has EVIL written all over it. How much power are you anticipating from it?

Looks great. Thank goodness the plugs are accessible from the top of the engine! What kind of turbos are you running?

Hey John. looks great. Any chance this will be available in kit form for someone who would like to fabricate their own manifolds and such. I'd love to have one of those on my shark.

Very Impressive.... Quite a project, especially for a spare-time project!

Surely a great piece of work, good on you John, I take it that you will coat all the exhaust in ceramic to keep the heat down in the engine bay?

Yep, I'm confused. There's something interesting going on with that intake. Weird. I shouldn't say any more. I don't want to help someone to invade your progress. If you need any help with ideas (yeah, right) you can always query me. I am/was a mech. engineer. And I have a love for these projects, from way back. Looks like you have it under control.
I can't even imagine how wicked a twin turbo would be. I never got to ride in my friends old 69 Datsun 240 with a twin turbo small block. I hear it was quick.

Very nice work, John! But how is that airfilter box pressurised? Or is it? Please explain the intake section. I am very curious!
