This is what I've been up to the last nine months. Pulling the engine for a high performance rebuild, a few more aftermarket goodies for the frame, then off to the powdercoater. I still have to deal with the tub, but it's really in great shape. Details, details, details!

yikes!! I remember when I was there....looks good!!

Ah yes, so many of us have been there :)

Keep plugging away, it will get done before you know it. Suggestion - keep those heads in a plastic bag with some oil on them. Keep the short block in a bag with some oil on it too. When you get further along you can install that stuff and know for sure it is fresh and still has oil on it. Too many times a new engine gets put together and sits for a long period of time and starts to rust before it is ever fired up. Good luck with your project and keep posting progress pics. :)
