Thanks I'm looking forward to getting to the tuning stage. Hopefully everything goes well since I wouldn't consider myself a very good tuner at the moment.

Another small update, received ARP flywheel, oil pan, and crank damper bolts from WOT-Tech. I'm still anxiously waiting for my cam and pushrods

Some local guys on gaownersclub have been having meets. I haven't made it to one yet but plan to eventually and once the car is done I will for sure bring it.

The only MN meet I have been to involved meeting Dr Fab in a target parking lot.

You should crawl you way to the one at Mall of America on the 19th

If gas stays cheap and I still go i'll be passing right through St.Cloud to get there, but my sister might not like someone extra staying at her appartment since I would be headed down on friday the 18th.

I'm not sure if I can make it yet but I will see what I can do

I didn't feel like making a new thread for this so does anyone by chance know how much clearance there is between the top of the waterpump pulley and the stock non sc/t hood?

Thanks everyone.

Pistons going back in. I have been disassembling things for so long I almost forgot how much I enjoy putting things back together.

solutions_auto · 03-27-2011, 03:17 PM

im jealous, this build is just awesome.

HOYS · 03-27-2011, 04:29 PM

What the hell is going on in the lifter valley? Did you install some kind of mesh?

AaronGTR · 03-27-2011, 05:37 PM

^Was thinking the same thing. That looks just like what Tejohnson did on his block. In fact, I'm wondering if that IS his old block. His oil drain channels where polished the same way, and he epoxied screen mesh into the gaps to catch anything in case something broke.

That double roller looks sexy though!
