Thanks for the input fellas. Yes, I've got the engine down and back a good bit, both to improve the handling and try to get the weight off the nose and to make room for possibly running a Vortech / centrifugal blower of some sort later. I'll probably warm the engine over a bit (cam, reworked heads, intake, headers) and get all the bugs worked out then add the blower after. The engine is low, yes, but the sump is 1" higher than the running board brackets so I should be ok.

More later -

Dan
