Looks great. Just curious, why the distributor instead of individual coils?
That is just a spark disturber. There are no electronic in it at all... Just a rotor and cap. It will be triggered by a MDS trigger wheel that will bolt to the front of the Damper. The cam sensor will be triggered by another part I'm developing right now... It will be a pretty trick part when finished. There are some advantages to this set-up over the COP system <(coil on plug) like the LS engine uses... Tim mentioned a few, but there are other reasons as well.
As I mentioned earlier, this is just a engine I'm putting together to set-up the car. Sure, it's got some giggle gas on it but it's nothing special. It's just like one of my Zilla 402 engines like I have listed on my website with a optional carb style intake. But I'm putting all the belt drive stuff on it just like I'll have on the big motor so I can do all the mock up. That way, it will be much easer to switch everything over when it's ready. Or I might just put the big motor in this virgin white car and leave this car as is... I have not decided yet.

Ahhhhh... Back to my new passion. 
Here's an update for my motor head friends following my racing program. There's one thing I love about drag racers. They don't give a crap about Dynos... All they want to see is the time slip from your last 1/4 pass. Because a time slip cuts through all the Dyno BS.
I got the windshield lip cut way back for more clearance... Just gotta box it in now. I also got the rear tunnel cut out and boxed it. I had to do this for more torque arm clearance because I'm gonna get this sucker low to the ground.
I also got a lift put in the shop to help do all this stuff. By the end of next year, I hope that F-R-E will become F-R-C (Forrester Racing Chassis) and I'll be completely out of the Sand Car Engine business. Building Race Cars is a lot of fun, and it's time to do something new!

Very Impressive work 
Looks good Clay.
Is that a new lift I see?
Nice!

Nice!
Looks like a Rotary lift, they are the best! Very easy and quick to set up compared to other lifts with the screw style pads. Very nice build by the way!

Thanks! And I can't afford it either but I'm doing it anyway!
Doing a lot of the work myself or with help saves me a ton of money. If I had to buy everything outright... EGADS!Zilla
Did a little more mock-up on the motor. It will be getting a crank drive F3 Procharger (2300 HP) And I stared another project too. 93 LX coupe. It too will get a LS engine in it.

Hey, Boss. I miss our group trips too. Oh what fun that was!!!!
I've been busy with the asphalt stuff, so not much time left over for the Sand these days... But I'm having fun with it so it's all good. Tell all the gang I said hi for me.
