Here is the wife's hot rod. 18+ MPG's loaded with kids and gear or not. Best truck I've built her yet. :LOL:

I don't think I have a close up photo of my little engine or should I say " Belly Button " , but it does the job of motivating the wheels to rotate.

Finally, a Thread I can post in (thanks DA34Guy!)-here is my humble contribution (if my pics how up!)-
Sorry the pics are so large-slow progress going on (but at least it's progress!)-

That BBC is awesome! I like shiny things. Haha Whoa, Mike does have a car? :LOL:
Well, it's a part of the EFI-I am running a Holley Dominator EFI (to control the Hilborn), and, Holley offers a crank trigger driven Ignition System (Distributorless Ignition System, or DIS)-they also offer coil-on-plug, but as space is becoming more limited I couldn't use it-Quote:

As for the red, I wasn't happy with how the MSD wires "snapped" onto the Coils/Sparkplugs, so about two weekends ago I switched the Wires over to Moroso Ultra 40's-I think they are a better wire-thanks for asking!
I can't stand it, nobodys posted anything with holes in the valve covers! Heres the best recipe for not burning your plug wires (Next to Bob's awesome flatty). Here's my 354 Hemi before it got all covered up!
