I know the IW is SFI approved, not sure about the ATI. There may be a belt alignment issue with the Trilogy crank pulley. The IW adapter for Metco pulleys will place the SC pulley where the Cobra SC belt travels. I believe it's about 1/4" further out than the Trilogy belt position.

well the car is home and running great - still smoking some because of all the oil in the exhuast system but that will clear up - one lesson i learned never tell an engine builder you want the best of the best and all new part (because you need to go to the hospital after they give you the bill)when we get a1000 miles on her then we will dyno the car and see what kind of numbers she will hit (hoping over 700) i will post later what parts they put in the engine

John do you have a list of your mods. I don't remember you having a the fuel system and injectors to support that much Hp. Looking forward to seeing more pictures and track videos. Oh, glad to see you on your feet again. :beer:

going to add an 8 rib system and 80 lb injectors

Yep that will wake things up nicely. What piston/rod combination did you end up with?

[2,4shofast]

It sounds like a built monster from what you have hinted around, is it still stock displacement?

Bringing this back to life here:

John, any updates?

[John Nero]

the 8 rib system is being installed this week - finishing the fuel system next - but you can strech the dollar so far - almost have a 1000 mile on her - my goal is to have her ready for janurary to make the big run

[O's Fan Rich]

Yeah I learned the hard way! The first quote I was getting from the local speed shops and MMR was making me:bigcry:. I have MMR quoting without the heads..will reuse my existing heads and have them ported.

Please do list your internals....as I am looking for some ideas were to save $$ if possible.

BTW NICE!
