Thats sweet Todd. Its nice to see someone who builds an engine with such attention to detail. He does awesome work.
Nice hussle getting the car back together. You must have been busier than a one armed paper hanger. Nice work!

Oh there is a ways to go, new engine means lot's of new obstacles plus I'm cleaning up a few things I wasn't thrilled with.

Great photos Todd -- really shows what a good builder should be doing. You can tell he's a real "big HP" guy... Motor looks awesome... you should be feeling pretty confident!

I dropped mine off today -- My guy uses road tar to seal the pan leaks -- and "roads" lifters (probably used) with a junkyard crank out of an unknown make and model... and that piston slap cleans right up once she's warmed up a bit!

LOL

Ya, most of his builds are light years beyond mine. He does some trick and cutting edge stuff. The new Chevy High Performance has an article on an engine he built. Really good read.

Hey Vegas,
So what do you think it would cost you to build this motor from scratch?
