Cool pic!
That guy isn’t messing around. Looks like he’s lifting the whole rack of engines at once

That is correct.

He will then drive wide open throttle through the plant, either facing forward and looking through them with his vision obscured, or backwards while looking over his shoulder. Pedestrians better watch their step.

He will also stay on that truck all day, including lunch. About the only thing he won't do on there is use the bathroom.

Lots of orange paint on the bellhousing and exhaust manifolds. I've always had my motors painted this way and I always get comments at shows for having too much paint on the exhaust manifolds smh.
