    well not really. if you figure my current salary and cost of materials, that would be about right.i wanted something different for my air cleaner.so from a piece of aluminum block and about 7 hours total.this is what i came up with. i made the first one out of plastic,just for practice. i will take a picture of it on the car in a couple of days. i just about have my engine done. so what do you think?
