First photo of one of those I've ever seen! I remember when the W510 appeared in the product line-up and thinking to myself, "8.3L? Am I reading that right?!"
VERY NICE!
Is that Whipple's low-profile intake manifold underneath it too?
It looks like the firewall clearance worked out nicely.
That BBC looks like 9.8" deck, I'm trying to identify the heads... exhaust ports raised it looks like... Post some specs?
I'm building a forged low-compression Brodix-headed EFI street 540 for Whipple boost myself, it's only getting a W210 - MINIATURE in comparison to that thing!

WOW, that is definitely the biggest Whip. I've ever seen, I love that cog drive set up as well.

That is big but a 980 is bigger. Whipple needs to bring back the 980.
