[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 726170, member: 4983"] So thats pretty much all the "build thread" type pictures I have, like I said earlier I didnt take a whole lot of pictures. Heres a pic of the completed chassis right after I painted it. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181218/5749d8b804a57af52a720a4406a91de2.jpg[/IMG] I would like to mention that I did not bend the two main chassis hoops because I dont have the bender or the skill. I contacted Patrick at Murrah Motorsports and sent him a crude drawing of what I needed then Patrick made it a reality. I have to say he hit the mark perfectly and everything fit together like a glove. So then I was talked into more woopow for the northstar. I found a deal I was told I couldnt pass up on a Northstar specific Eaton M122. $700 shipped to my door, nope not a typo, I paid $700 for a brand new Eaton blower with intercooler. I also built a set of custom headers for it. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181218/9d12211943e5ae5bee4ad9c67e6f8567.jpg[/IMG]this pic would be thanks to Creepycrawly. It probably is close to 600 crank HP thanks to the cams, heads and blower.
