    Sounds great, absolutely LOVE the air filter assembly.....LET 'ER BREATHE !!!!!!

    This is a good lesson for you other fellows who want to build a hot motor. Just follow the instructions and you will be successful like Mr. Dobbs.

    No break-in necessary with a roller. Fire it and go.

    Robert, please get me a couple more photos of your seat arrangement and the belts. Does the crotch strap come up through the seat or come around the front of the seat to fasten up with the lap balts/shoulder belts?

    Richard, appreciate that man--you've been a great help to me since we started this build!! I'll work to get you some more photos of the seat arrangement. Crotch strap does come up through the seat, got a lap belt that comes through both sides of seat, and harness also comes through the top of seat.

    As an update to this post, we put the car in gear for the first time today. Drove her out, backed her back in. After doing this and getting to work the gears, now it really wants me to take her to the track as soon as possible! This motor really does exude some power and i got a chuckle after my neighbor came over to our shop yesterday and told me that when we crank and run the car he can hear it all the way back at his house which is a pretty darn good distance from our shop.
