Oh, can you provide pics when done or during build? Would like to see

Sure, he's working on the body now. He just mocked up the engine in his fitness room for the pic. He's going to start assemblying it for real soon.

Believe it or not, he has another aluminum big block (this one is a Chevy repro) that he is going to put in his boat.

I sure wish I could get away with having an engine I am assembling in the house on the hard wood floor without my wife beat me within inches of my life.

Now that is some fine looking hardware Kid :thumbs: I too will be interested in the details as he progresses. What heads are those? We thought of using an intake something like that but have the problem of interfacing with that GM hood. Try to get some pics of the car as well. Ill follow his lead

I apologize for another question here, as I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but what are the studs in the cam bore location for?

OP, keep us updated on progress!

Belt drive system, it holds a flange to seal off the front of the cam extension much like a 1pc rear main seal on a crank. The belt setup runs dry

check this, much easier to see than to explain
