All new covers have been installed with the front cover CNC machined in-house to clear the double roller timing set.

Pistons are a custom set of 4.125″ Wiseco Performance Products with heavy wall pins to hold up to the boost, and the top end consists of a custom hydraulic roller camshaft to go along with the pair of LS3 6-bolt heads with Yella Terra rockers.
