I plan on painting the covers hammer-tone black, kind of a glossy-bumpy finish. 02 intake won't work, it's straight and has a dbw throttle body.

 

Very nice Steve. Build thread with pics plz?

 

Your in the build thread, and there's nothing to take pics of right now, though there will be soon enough.

 

I am sad now. I knew this was the build thread, I just wanted pics btw :P

 

Hey musicman...your car ran a 14.9? What all have you done to it?

I'm too lazy to copy the list.

 

Crank is at bearing service now getting turned. If I had a flywheel laying around, I could get the entire rotating assembly balanced too.

 

Block is de-glazed now, crank is still at the shop. I ordered a new harmonic balancer from summit racing, but it's on backorder. Pistons are cleaned up now, and turned out to be a good deal. If the crank requires to be turned more than 10, I'm going to have to find another crank, but it didn't seem that bad (could just need a polish for all I know). I'm going to order a flywheel from rock auto, and some other stuff from scoggin, then I'll have the rotating assembly balanced. Things are going really slow, but that can be a good thing sometimes.

Also, the engine in the camaro decided it wanted to run better, must've got some bad gas from pacific pride or something.

 

There's the block, all nice and clean too. Cell phone pic of course.

 

Ordered a new water pump, cam magnet, belt tensioner assembly, and a flywheel. Crank is still at the shop, not sure why they're taking forever. Gonna call on it today and see what's up. Got the flywheel because I'm going to have the rotating assembly balanced.
