Very nice job, and very clean engine room. Thank you for the feedback.

You did a really nice job on that repower Scott. I remember following along at the time. Just out of curiosity, (and not to hijack David's thread) but what did you end up propping those inline 6's with? Just your old wheels still, or did you get something different?

I haven't re-powered myself, and you probably know about Crusader engines (GM blocks), but just posting to make sure you are aware of them.

Pardon me Dave :D

@ Scott: I've waiting for some news of your 6-inline project for long.
Your arguments to use that setup are unbeatable.

Hope you can deliver some specs about in future. Or some videos with
sound and handling.

At all, looks like a very well (but strange) idea for 'repowering' :D
