Its been awhile since i updated you guys so here it goes,

Took the block apart to see what im dealing with:




and found some rust in the cylinder walls and cam




So i had 3 choices,
A) go 4.030 over
B) replace the block
C) put new sleeve jackets

I tried option B and 3 different blocks from 3 different shops were just as bad or worse so i went with option C since its the most cost effective one

I also ordered comp cams, flowmaster 814116 Headers (1.75 inches, ceramic coated and polished) and managed to find a set of LS3/L92 heads from west coast racing heads for $545!!

The cam i went with


New oil pump, new seals all round, new piston rings....pretty much new everything


My R129 Benz getting an X-pipe, resonator delete and magnaflow muffler installed in the background


Heads installed, still need to get a holley hi-ram though








Still need the LS3 offset rockers though


Its almost a shame to cover up such beauty
