What are your plans engine wise for this build, didn't you have some 3.4 parts ready to go on the shelf?

Hi Lukas! The 3.4 parts are gathering dust but are slated for the Rot Rod. In fact I have everything for it down to the PMO throttles, ECU, COP's, cams, gaskets, and probably a bunch of stuff I've forgotten about.
This build will get a revvy 2.7 - details to be confirmed but will compare favorably to the 3.2SS in Heavy Metal 1 in terms of outright power. Might be a little louder
With light weight being the primary consideration, the magnesium case and chain cases, etc. along with the magnesium 915 help quite a bit to make it lighter than Heavy Metal 1. I've got some lighter connecting rods and flywheel/clutch assembly that mean there will be a full 10 pounds of weight savings off the rotating assembly alone (when compared to the 3.2SS).
It will be nice to have you following along!
