Just pull a complete Lightning motor from a salvage yard. That's gotta be less $$ than a 4V with twin turbos.

as soon as I master growing my money trees....

that and since i want to be a welder and have the pilot background i think i will be okay in the future on finding a job! and not that much! if you do it right. a used navi motor should only cost the same as a 3v motor. if not a little less since its older. then TTs. there are places to find deals and routing it right. i dont want a lot of power just enough. and besides i would LOVE the uniqueness of that! how many navi TT motors have you seen in an expo? ive seen a few with lightnings. even though it would be nice to have that too!

When watching the video look at the front of the drivers side head at the 11 second mark. Looks like antifreeze blowing out all over the place once the high boost kicks in.

I didn't notice that the first time, but you can't put a bow tie on it unless its leaking somewhere and all chromed out.
