    Did a little work on the getting the dual battery's back in and cleaning up the wiring. Engine looks awesome. Not sure how I feel about the purple hoses. Have to order some more parts from @NLXTACY. I will say I love Robbie's attention to detail. Exhaust is next.

    Robbie has it running and it should be buttoned up today. He sent me this pic a few days ago. Really won't be able to give a honest update till I get 1k on it and I can really put it through its paces. I will post updates as I break it in.
