Its a steering wheel from a flight simulator.

It also looks to be the type of mount that drives the blower directly from the crankshaft instead of using a belt, and you only use serious hardware like than on an F series race blower, which I'm guessing is in the box.

this set up is not going on the engine i am currently running. i am planning on building a 3.8 race engine. the block will be filled including the heads, it will have a righ rise sheet metal intake with 6 individual runners with injector ports in the runners. looking into a dry sump oil pan that has main cap supports built in. will be running on 100% methanol. with big stuff 3 controlling everything. powerglide trans. pretty much all out race car. since running the methanol i would no longer need an intercooler, radiator, pumps and all stuff to go along. weight drop will be substantial. at least 200 lbs

i am just starting to get a few things ironed out and starting to get pieces together. i will still be a while to get it running.
 
david, it looks like they have extensions on that to make room for oter belt driven acessories. so mine will be a little shorter. and i know you asked about the rad before you had a chance to read my earlier post

All that money on prepping a 3.8 production block :eek:

How is it any more money than any other block? Any race block will get filled. Nothing I am doing is because it is a 3.8. I would do the same even on your 4.5 or any race engine. That is how a serious drag race engine is built.

I don't doubt that at all. I know you are deadly serious in the drag racing field and frankly I think what you are doing is damn exciting. However, I just would hate to see key limitations of the 3.8 block haunt this project; cylinder heads.

That is why the heads are getting filled. To prevent them from lifting. The LS guys run into this since they only have 4 bolts per cylinder too. And if flow is your concern, then the 38 lbs of boost the F1R is capable of will solve that!
