I have had several people ask me about an engine I built for a customer last year. It was a 440 budget build that I did using Edelbrock heads and a Hughes Whiplash cam.
After tuning it made pretty impressive numbers.
I ended up building a 727 and spec'd a convertor also.
After delivery of the engine and trans package,my customer had his engine bay soda blasted and then the project came to a halt.
I recently picked up the car along with the rest of his parts to put his car back together .
Here is a before shot of the engine bay.
