I know... But I have plans for that head... I have a bottom end that I'm going to re-build and use that head on... That motor will be a monster when I'm thru with it..

Well the build continues... So I finally got the car off the lift and out of the muffler shop (Time Valves Melbourne FL.)
I got "most" of the plumbing done. The only thing that wasn't completed was/is the blowoff valve. But no worries, the tunner said that he would take care of that....

But anyways, here are a few pics of the where I am as of today.

Here's a tease of the finished build:


Here are a few of the muffler setup:






These are of my buddy Mike at Time Valves in Melbourne FL. making some custom pieces for my car... This guy is AWESOME. 99% of his work is on Ferrari's and the like... He set aside this whole Fri. to handle my Lexus. He does A class work... NO BULL ****!.. "Thanks Mike"








Finally. Here are some of the car loaded up and ready for it's trip down to Miramar so that I can get my Mega Squirt standalone installed and tuned: "Damn it's been over 2 months since my car has been started... It feels like forever!" But I'm still on track to complete this build in 90 days!!!

I do not even want to know how much you paid for that head, but man, you could have just reconditioned a used one and been fine... if not better. Because your going to mess with it anyways.
