gonna be fun man!
Wow, motor looks great.. not a fan of all the blue, but sounds like it should be a nice motor.
To tell u the truth I'm not either (a fan of "all" the blue)... But I started with it n I gotta make the scheme look "good", cause I'm too far into it to change it...
The paint Job is gonna be A black n white scheme along with the interior... The interior will have a few blue accents.. But I'm going to be sure not to over do that too...
Nice work there, I agree on the port texture, but it's more critical in the manifold with carbs. on EFI the fuel is intected right at the ports so even if it sticks it wont be that bad.

dude that motor build looks killer. I can't wait to see the HP numbers from this.
Yes the engine is done... I gotta finish the manifolds before I fire it up though... The Rad. is stock not sure what brand.. The coolant lines are heavy duty marine hoses, I should never have to replace them... The don't bend so I used copper elbows to gettem where they needed to go...
N thanks for the congrats.. We're actually already married.. But most of her family don't know yet so we're havin a big wedding this summer... Our 1 yr annv. is on the 8th of this month...
that looks sweet. so did you cut all the coolant lines since they don't bend?
wow it's been six months since I posted on this thread... To all of you who are keepin tabs... I'm still workin on my baby... I started it last weekend... I'm doin the interior now n I'll finish the body after that...
With all the head work I did.. n that triflow cam the intake sounds beast I can't wait to put the itb's on... anywayz... I'll post vid of it running a little later...
