Dyno Don's New Shop
I know a lot of you have not seen Don's new shop. I was there this afternoon and took a picture of his engine storage section. Here is the picture.

A close up view of the motor Don has built for me. Can't wait for him to install it. Look out Vincent.

According to Don yes. The CF on the runners is supposed to keep the intake charge cooler. As to the valve covers I thought they looked good so that is why we decided to go with them.

Wow! I knew this place was big, but that must be a part I haven't seen yet.

Sorry Lang. In my excitement I did take pictures of other customers motors. By the way these are unauthorized pictures. Again sorry if I let the cat out of the bag for some of you. 
Don, I relocated some of the lumber you were using for shelving. That is why the area looks different.

Actually it is a LS7-R. You can't buy them outright as they are for the Corvette racing team. Horsepower is around 590 and the torque is 640. That will flat get it done. Had to rely on Don's connections in the automotive world to get some.

Yes, Tall Bruce did the painting. Looks very nice. Don's executive office is upstairs and to the right. Helped move furniture into the office today.
The move is now close to complete. The hoist was moved and put in place today. Almost done.
Hopefully I can get by tomorrow afternoon and help out some.
