Got the new engine in from Kenny Gilmour Motorsports and got the car outside for the first time with the new paint this year, only 53 days to racing in Alberta.

Got my Gray Motorsport DRCE3  500" fitted in the car  8)

Stig...Those are some short intake runners. Must be a real high rpm deal. Very nice.

Check the housing for warpage and the bearing end toe-out. may have to cut them off to re-align

With an alignment bar something like this

And you do this after all welding on the housing is complete
