Pushing an A2 with an inducer and SS loader on a Berk JE. :banghead:

AHHHhhhhgggggg!!!!!!! This shit never ends! I set the externals on the motor early last summer to take some measurements and it looks pretty good. I just gotta wait till I get it in there for real to set the driveline angles and measure for the thru transom headers from Bassett. Here's what it looked like on the mock up.
