Looks good....straight eights are great!

Wish a car company would come out with a modern straight eight!!

They produce good torque and horsepower!!

Looks good, I love those straight eight's. I just wish the bearings weren't poured.

 

If it runs half as good as it looks you have one hell of a engine there. Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments! I've been working on it since January. The majority of it only took a couple hours, but you know how it is...always doing something..

It runs like a sewing machine...considering it has 30k original miles!
Here's the whole story on the car:
