Here are a few current photos taken today. Taking a little longer than I wanted but I couldn't use the other cam I had so i had to order a custom grind billet cam. Not running a belt drive so the block needed to be machined for the timing chain. Short block will be finished the beginning of next week and the intent of the long block to be finished by the end of the week. I'm pretty sure I will run into needing to mill the intake because the heads have been milled and the block has been decked (.150). Crank is in the block, rods and pistons have been mated and went with a 9 key way billet true double roller timing chain. Currently file fitting the rings with the correct gap for NOS. Took the oil pan, timing cover, gaskets and intake bolts to the shop today as well. My expectations from this combo is mid to low 9's naturally aspirated and mid 8's on the bottle.
