Looks to me like its part of hanging the dash on, so its kinda quick release, i assume anyway from its shape

I thought the same, but wasn't sure.

It is to secure the fiberglass dash in place.

DTR head job!

When you o ring the head do you do the block to receive it or not on this one? I know some do and some dont,

Also how are them pro gears? Im looking at them myself,

Nice Build . Keep the updates coming!!!

no receiver groove for me. My head guy is in the 1200hp range and he's got no issues without the receiver groove, so I think I'll be fine.

My cam gears are old school S2 gears...dont think they've been sold in at least 5 years.

What HG are you going to run with the oringed head?

This build gives me a funny feeling in my trousers..

Me too! I can't wait to finally finish it!

New air-air intercooler should be here next week.
Custom job from Treadstone Performance. 28x12x4.5, rated for 1200hp. I think that'll do. Lol

Treadstone makes some good stuff. Been a while since Iv seen that name used.

I know a couple of local guys that used their IC's and made over 1K hp on this same core... I caught the BLack Friday sale and Paid them a little extra to modify it to the mock-up you see above. Basically gives me a a bad ass Intercooler for 1/2 the price of the ones people normally run. It should be here on Tuesday. I'll post pictures of the finished product when I get it.

It honestly looks like a beefier VRSF core with short route piping. Make sure you post the size and specs when you can.

Be cool to see what you did.

Treadstone are good, I bought there TR8 intercooler! cast end tanks and great cores are hard to pass up on the prices they offer too!

Agree the added weight from the cast is worth it, for the strength you get over alum end. Plus the price is awesome too.

ive been looking into oring option for the aluminum rod engine im putting together. I kinda like the idea of not having the receiver groove cut but in doing that is the oem mls the only option for gaskets?
