i wish. but i also am goin above and beyond. i want this thing to be show quality also. anyone can swap a engine but have the fit an finish also throughout the entire build is another level in my opinion.

That block you are using, is it a standard height block? If so, how far do the pistons drop out of the bore on the bottom?

The chassis looks so clean and nice, makes me want to taste it

standard not a lsx block. yes they come out the bottom a little more than stock thats what happens when you do a stroker but using a rotating assy. that has been proven

got the front end almost back together. waiting for powder coating stuff to come back to wrap it all up. then waiting for cylinder heads so i can put the rest of the engine together an back into the frame. i want yalls opinion leave cylinder heads the natural aluminum or coat the whole engine block and heads black.

 

[Torspd]

Coated protects it.....if you're looking for that?

I just don't like the idea of black on all of the engine components because in my head, it seems it would make it harder to find the source of a potential leak.

white paint it all white

yes but that is why they make oil dye? i first thought the same thing. because the heads are not super shiny. kinda dull. ill take a picture and post it up with them on the engine. just got them back last night.

white paint it all white

[Torspd]

[Doublld]

finally got the engine all together. painted it an put it in its home!! it was a exciting step in this build. ill be mounting the trans hopefully today or tomorrow. still have to fix the crack in the bell housing.
