Welcome to ECC Jim! I'd be very interested to follow your build, so please take plenty of pics. What kind of horsepower range are you shooting for?

Welcome to ECC Jim.

This is for John (hemi57). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Quad Cities consists of five neighboring cities flanking the Mississippi River in Iowa and Illinois in the Midwestern United States. The July 1, 2007, population of the four-county metropolitan area is estimated at 376,160. The Quad Cities, in order of descending population, are:
Davenport, Iowa
Moline, Illinois
Rock Island, Illinois
Bettendorf, Iowa
East Moline, Illinois
