[NOPANTS68]

Finished the 502 shortblock today. Went together very easily though 502 Gen 6 blocks have some funky details you really have to watch. I decided on the zz502 cam because its a cruiser and I wanna keep it within the Atomic EFI's base paramiters if I can.





Time to start overhauling these monsters. They are the 088s that 502HOs come with. Its a weird head in that the runners and chambers are fairly large and solid flowing, but GM equipped them with a crappy spring package and a lame valvetrain setup. I'll be tanking them a light milling, drilling the studs for 7/16, ARP stud and guideplates install, mill the spring pockets for real man springs, and a valve job. After that they should be a set of bad ass heads. Pretty ugly now though.



Been sanding on this intake for the motor as well. Sanding before powdercoating lets the powder lay really flat and crisp. Almost looks like velvet if done right. I feel lie a crack head out there though. lol This job sucks.
