LMW is about 3-4 weeks away with the prototypes. All I can say is that it will be sweet.

Are you trying to find something other than the RMM? There were a few flying around and kyle3481 did get it into a 430. I am sure that you have a good shop in FL to make it work. BUT, if you did not want an RMM SC, then the point is moot.

Andrew (I don't know why his SN has kyle in it ) is a cool guy but I am not sure he will know the details of what was done. You can try to PM him to see if he can get info from the shop but with his school schedule, it may take awhile. If you are serious, patience will repay you here. There may be another datapoint soon (obviously not me). Don't ask because I've already said way way too much. I just don't want you to lose faith in keeping that beauty of yours.

Brotha, keep in mind that there is not one piece in the engine that is chrome. Everything metal was polished by the experts. The engine pieces alone took well over 3 weeks and many man hours. It's so well done, many people mistake it with chrome. However, chrome would be so much easier to keep clean. To keep my engine this clean takes many hours a week with a good metal polish...

LOL. Yeah, ask RMMGS4 how many late nights he spent polishing his engine parts for HIN.

You engine is just too clean Ken.
