120710, 420A wins best motor
Posted by mreigle, Nov-12-06 02:02 AM
I don't know if this is the best place to post this but I would like to thank everyone in the forum for helping me along with way with my 420A project. Believe it or not I won best motor at the Hardcore LNO JR memorial show and best of my class.

Here are the pics:

Yes looks very good! Why did you put your intake all the way up there though?

That's pretty cool, I didn't know they gave out awards for windshield wiper motors? Or was it for the power window motors?

The only thing I see in your pic is an engine... :wary

I like the way you think. My friends hate it when I correct them on that.

Great looking engine to the Poster BTW.

I had a cold air intake made out of the hump that is in the 2g hood. That is why my intake is located at the top instead of the bottom.

Hey... do you still run the Cartech FPR from HRC? A lot of us have had problems with it not holding a reliable idle/base fuel pressure and have upgraded to a Vortech SFMU or similar.

Edit: nevermind, I see an Aeromotive in there now.
