forgot to get pics //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif buttt..motor is tore down to block. Block, crank, and pistons/rods are at machine shop getting service. Block is getting .20 over and crank is getting grinded, etc. Getting keith black pistons i believe the machinists said. Hes doing the whol rebuild back up to shortblock then our racecar friend is goign to time in the cam. Getting rollers, a $350 cam, Thinking about a high performance air intake that they make for it thats like $400. Should be a pretty decent engine when done. Will take pics when we get the block and stuff back middle-end of next week.
