454 Chevy Motor Horsepower Guessing Game ...​


Think I'll have to do a give away or something to the winner. Curious as to what the HP is going to be for my low budget medium HP build will be.
I'm shooting for a little over 500 ponies ...

Take a guess, it should be going on the dyno in a few months ...

Bet Miss Veto would have a educated guess !!


That was a good movie. :crackup:

My intentions was to shoot it with bed liner ..
Already shot the under side of the hood with it and going to do the inner fender with the bed liner ..

But, so many folks are saying I should shoot the firewall the same color the truck will have (Mopar Hi-Octane Red) ..

You might have to flip a coin on this one. That red will most definitely clash with the engine. :dunno:

Okay ...

Looks like the firewall will be seeing the Hi-Octane red ...

Got a little wait to save up the doe, cause that paint ain't cheap .. Eek !!

Meanwhile finally finished the steering column .. This was a super long journey ..

Been working on the Mercruiser boat oil pan some ..
It had a huge lug casted in at the front ..
Seen no need for it for my application, chopped it off and dressed in the grooves ..

Cleaning it up for fresh paint ...

Might turn out looking fairly nice when done ..
Soon to find out how that goes ??
