Not sure about Velasco making cranks Dom , but I cant see why not.. That crank is a work of art ,knife edged and shaved instead of being drilled for counter weight. Sharp !

Are those factory or aftermarket spark plug wire clips?

This engine is a work of art and Nelson Racing is the top builder in the Country! If I can make up my mind to either build my car into a ground up twin turbo beast! The Black on Black is the way to go, that's my car my engine is all polished up to look like chrome. This is much like a piece of Jewlery and so well done! Must have 40,000 in just the engine bay with the custome plenum and throttle body! Love it and I want to do this to my car! If you own this post some more pictures please! Dan Onasch
