Your wife steer the car or run the winch?
Nope. Not necessary. Once it’s lined up at the base of the ramp, it’s operated with a remote. Minor steering correction from along side as it goes in is the most that’s need. It’s a one man operation.

I don’t like it because then it makes the front uneven with the sides

Sounds like it has a miss how much oil is in it?
Hahaha 🤣 it actually took just over 8 quarts from bone dry to the full line. That’s drained oil cooler and fresh engine.
no misfires at all.

Thing sounds like it’s running great, always good stuff out of demon performance. Did they build you short block, or did you piece it together?

I always am bemused by the "plastic" timing chain guides. I know they're designed to last the life of the engine and give an indication of problems if there is accelerated wear (and that they're not "plastic") but they still look to me like they'll be chewed to bits just a few minutes.

Nice looking motor. Bet it will be fun!
