When V called me from the road ( to brag about his Win of course )
and told me Jim was crusing home in the 10 Sec Beast, I got to admitt there was some jelousy there, whats better than driving it just the way you race it, "always my situation", OK in my case a couple of sec's slower THATS ALL


Congrats again V
Excellent Customer Service Jim/JDM, and Awesome news and results on the Alum MLNIUM Test Vehicle

Actually no, that's a link to MY bad boy Lightning motor. He was referring to it as HIS BUDDY's, which I am glad to be.

Glad to see the motor program moving forward guys. These aluminum blocks should be able to take ALOT more than we can throw at them.

Ps. Give me a call JimIII

Not for sure how JDM handled it. The front entry is part of the actual water pump on the GT and it could be used. The coolant and oil passages are there on the GT block though just the same as all other modular Ford. I am using the Evans inlet myself.
