X2! I believe we are going to start assembly on mine after the first of the year. You've got to be a happy guy!

now I am just nervous about the engine break-in. I plan on breaking it in with comp engine break-in lube a Royal purple break-in oil.

The engine could have been finished 2 years ago but I decide to get away from the factory rods and switch to the H-beams. plus the first version of the engine was going to be for a turbo application. now it is a flat top high compression setup.

The most exciting part was putting those stickers on the cylinder heads!! Those are worth atleast 75hp each!!

What brand water pump is that?

Edelbrock, the wife gave it to me for Christmas, plus the valvecovers and oil filter adapter.

Which reminds me to thank Lem for his help. I had called him about the parts but I guess since the wife had orderd from Summit before I didn't make it easy enough to follow through with Lem.

I have 6 more of those stickers I took off mine.....


Looks good Josh...

Or blown up......LOL...... like the Grape Grenade.......

Looks good Jones. Very understated and plain, the competition won't kow what hit em. Now get it in the truck and lets have some fun.

I like the Down Low look, too, it's really cool. The only tip off is the head studs, but still very well done.

I really wanted to paint everything the same color from the oil pan to vavle covers. I wanted it to look like an Autozone reman engine! LOL That way when some one looked at it they wouldn't have high expectations. Except for the fact it might have a Dominator and a IS two stage plate kit!
