Having the word "grenade" written on your intake seems like a bad omen.

Dave's motor and mine are about the same minus my Aluminum block. His actually runs and mine is an empty shell. Pistons did come in last week though, so I am not far behind.

I am the only guy with extra inches...in the wheelbase department.

Did not notice the "grenade" until I posted the pictures. Motor guy, Ed Lesley, his shop is called Grenade Engines. Funny stuff.

Potentially, yes. :secret:

That would be a game ender at this point. :lol:

Grenade... heh... I always thought that too.

Ed is a good dude... got a bunch of my dry sump parts and accessories from him. Payton should be in good hands there.

We are Carolina cousins (I think that means married or something?)

I do envy your alum block, shorter stroke and EFI.... gonna be very cool.

What kind fittings/clamps are those where the braided line meets hard line?

Flash has socks that match them.

Dave's car had me at the Ford stripes, but this one keeps pulling me back in with its aluminum block, short(er) stroke goodness, not to mention all the Brown and Miller stuff!

Don't forget about the neck tie...

Nice Bro Truck! Hahah.

Where the skulls done by a previous owner?

That truck doesn't look like it will fit in your garage - my Duramax 2500 barely fits in mine.

Love the updates to the Camaro - we going to get a chance to see engine dyno vids anytime soon? What kind of EFI are you using - the TB based Holley unit?
