I'm gonna keep this thread as my "official" buildup thread with all my pics and notes. If you want pics of something, or more information, then let me know and I'll get it on here.


Here are some of the parts I got:

Rods:








Wiseco Pistons .040:








The Speed-Factor Manifold. Ramshead with 3" downpipe and external dump.

 

The block was decked, honed, and dipped. Each cylinder was hone-matched to each piston, and then numbered so they go back in place perfectly:


















It was wrapped and put with all the other MUCH BIGGER V8 blocks: bigeyes.gif





All new bearings were purchased. So it is currently getting the rods/pistons put on and heading to another shop to get balanced. The flywheel, pulley, and clutch cover are also being put on so that it can ALL be balanced together. The best way to do it. fing02.gif

Did you notch the block for the biggers rods?

Are you planning to put the oil return plug in the pan or the block?

 

please send the info to MaierApril... he needs a reliable shop to start doing his major engine work. He's been wasting so much money on having shops completely screw his engine over.
