pictures will come soon. I promise.
things left i want to do include finish clearcoating the engine bay, painting the engine block, waiting on my new lifters to come in, then once they come in, i want to double check my pushrod length. still need oil pan gasket, poly engine mounts, header gaskets. i want to port match my heads to the exhaust gaskets. And I think that about sums it up.

Why did the machine shop not deck the block? I am sure it was checked to be true, but it seems to me to be one of those quick and simple things to do for a little extra piece of mind...

Looks like they just bored it threw the new slugs in and got all nuts with the aluminum color paint that was on sale at Ace Hardware.

theirs just so much i want to do before i even feel comfortable racing it . ../nitrous/
You need to run it and make sure everything is in tune and in tact first.
Nitrous should be a final touch IMO.
Pretty impressive all the time & $ going into it, should be quite a sight to see.
