hard to remove a decent running small block after sitting on the sidelines so long, but it's time to get this thing off the garage floor. Thank you Brian Smith for putting together the motor plate deal for me. I had some options, but none that would have looked this nice . Still got a looonnnggg way to go.

Your welcome J. Thanks for trusting in the parts I made. Now get that thing in and go fast.

Can't wait to see how quick it is.

It all depends on how much more weight savings you can find by using masking tape instead of metal..

replacing the W5 stuff of days gone by with a similiar W8 combo. Well.... kinda similiar. I've gotten in over my head, but no stopping now! Lot's of Moparts peeps have helped tremendously with pictures, opinions, suggestions, parts.

....and fyi Don there are hard parts under the tape, just trying to keep things clean!

I agree but I don't think his fan shroud is going to work well and it looks heavy

Everything else looks good though

Thank you Brian Smith for putting together the motor plate deal for me.




If you are talking about THE Brian Smith that lives in Arizona City, tell him hi from Allen! I've know him for a long time. Tell him TV Tommy says hi also!

Nice to see you working on the W8 setup Jay, will be interesting to see what the headers look like when they are done and what size they end up being.

Nope! the other Brian Smith (member 408strokerdart). He has pretty close to the same combo... only he ordered his "Blazin".... I ordered mine "Mild".
