Scored a Rilltech built engine on eBay. Seller says running but doesn't know more than that. I figure worst case scenario I'm sending it out to get refreshed, just like I was planning on doing if I got a normal used engine. If all goes well it'll be on the road before the end of April

Nice to hear! Did you get the flares finished?

Working on getting them mirrored to the other side at the moment, I've sectioned the mold from the first side into 4 inch sections and made templates, now to flip the templates onto the other side of the car

In reply to TurboFource :

Sometimes I think about a boosted hyuabusa engine, but honestly, the 180hp from the base 1000 engine is plenty in a car that weighs half a ton
