Kept it for now...

Little snag though.. Not sure who's to blame (it wasn't in Jeff's hands for a long while) but there is some engine damage....

He'll pull it (may have started already) and get it back up and running soon I hope... He's wanting to take Cruz Pedregon for a ride / drive when he comes to the shop before the Atlanta Southern Nationals May 3-5

I'll keep ya posted when it's back up...

Just keep Cruz outa anything you've driven. :)
 
Well 2 weeks to the day, Jeff has it back running...

Long story short, he pulled the 6.7 motor and since he had everything handy to build a good 5.9 he just did that for now..

He even pulled the damaged turbo apart and put it on the lathe and fixed it... Probably hurting the air delivery a bit but it runs!! He wanted it up for the wknd of May 3-5 NHRA when Cruz Pedregon comes to the shop...Plus he simply wanted to enjoy it a bit...

It has the single 71 on it for now but he build the motor like his old race motor so he may build some twins for it soon...Run them for a while and Then build the 6.7 12V when he has more time.. For now he says it feels like about 550-600 hp... He put smaller injectors in it due to the 5.9 not spooling the big single as well.

Anyway...He debadged it and drove it home... Here's a few pics he sent me...
