Hi Guys. Just wanted to post up a few videos from Prestige on my Brodix BBC 582 Lola engine build. I will start a build thread in the Lola build subsection. Because this is from one of the engine builders that many here have used, I thought you might enjoy it.
This was a VERY LONG build process. Almost 26 months to the day from inception to getting it ready to ship.
The engine exceeded my requests and runs on 92 octane pump gas. The engine was designed around a 6500 rpm redline. This is WAY more engine than I'll ever need. I did buy a Racelogic traction control from Ken Roberts some time ago. That transaction went really smooth. Sometimes I have a issue buying from Canada, but no issues with Ken. THANKS KEN !! I do also realize that you can't fix stupid, so I'll keep this in mind as well.
I am living vicariously through Jim Albrights beautiful RCR LolaT70MK3B build.



Whenever I'm down, Jim gives me a pep talk, and I'm good for a while.

Here are some clips.

There are a lot of details that will follow.

Hope you enjoys this build.

Thanks Jim. It's VERY SLOWLY starting to come together. I have two new Ricardo transaxles, and Chris Hatfield (Flatchat) is making me an adapter for the Ricardo to Chevy engine. Chris's work is top notch, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I bought his clip locators a couple of years ago and they are extremely well made.

More coming once I get the car and will start a build thread..

Regards Brian
