funny Bob... I do need to live up to the hot rod part ya know. I think Mike's a bit more practical than me but much better at fabrication so who knows :lvs We both have kids and a wife to keep us busy, but some how Mike finds the time as do I. Honesty I think I spend more time on the forums here than tinkering on the machines.... luxury of having a desk job 8D I hope to have the highest powered yet still usable sovy out there. I know some have done crazy stuff with motorcycle and VW motors but those where strict hotrods............. hmmm maybe I am not living up to the title wah By the way it's cheating if Mike gets help from his secret weapon (BLT)unless I can get in on that too..... but then again I don't have a welder yet ;)

I won, look at Kevins...all show and now go!:D:D:D Just kidding Kevin. Gotta love the diesel chugging. That 800hp beast sure is a power machine though. I can not look at that stuff on youtube...I end up getting lost as one leads to another...

I know how things go. I wanted to make a puller using this 3000HP beauty (that's me holding it up) http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/attach/BLT/16v4000.JPG ,but I couldn't afford the $24,000.00 radiator to go with the $190,000.00 engine. For that matter I couldn't get the money for the engine either. The banker gave that strange look.sm00sm00sm00:D
