Visited John's shop a couple months ago to pick up a V8 bellhousing he was advertising on craigslist. Showed me a bunch of his builds in different states of repair and assembly. Good stuff, great shop. His shop rig (as many of you may be familiar) is especially impressive.

John, hope you don't mind me posting up some pics I took during my visit.

Man, that's why I don't use powder based extinguishers (in my own rigs at least). It's bad enough to have an engine fire, but if you're fortunate enough to get it put out quickly, using a powder based extinguisher almost does more damage than the actual fire!!!

Agreed. That picture is why you need to move your fuel line away from the dist on a EB also.

Thanks LTL4life, it's a kick to drive. Just point and shoot across the desert, it sucks up all the deep holes. More horsepower will mean more fun

Don't get too lonely. I'm sure more are coming to fill the emptiness!

Have a great Christmas too!
