So...
I found a complete engine (minus intake manifold) on eBay. It was located in Chicago. I had it shipped, disassembled it and it's currently at the machine shop and will be ready for pick up this Friday May 24.
Stand by for more updates and pictures.

i haven’t updated in a very long time so here’s what’s new...
Last year we had to set the rev limiter to 6100 rpm as we were at 94% duty cycle on the 660cc injectors.
I was gonna stick some 1000s in and call it a day but got carried away and upgraded the IM and TB as well.
back on the rollers and first pull was a great number. Almost wanted to stop there because I don’t care how much power you make 666 hp is as cool as it gets!
As we tried going up past 61-6300 rpm I had the same issue many have had with the Nick Williams TBs. Its shutting under boost and forcing the car into limp mode.
however we did finish off with a solid number as seen in the pics.
I’ve ordered an oem LS6 TB to put back on (sold the original) and we’ll spin it up to 7000rpm.
