Haha, just had to share my joy, I picked up a long block today, after I get my brakes, wheels, and tires, we are going to start building the heart of the beast and are shooting for a mild 600hp. Once the build starts I will be sure to post threads about it

 

oh yeah!!

 

Drool...pics will be required on a constant basis.

 

guess yours will be done before mine

let me know if you find a good shop, I need my block bored to 96mm and I need the crank polished/inspected

 

There are several good machine shops in the area actually. When I make my decision and actually get working on the build I will let you know where I go for that. The only thing that is not going to be done by me personally to the block is re-honing and polishing the block itself. Everything thing else will be done by me.

 

hey I'm doing that too! my first build... got any tips? maybe we can get together some time, I don't want my first engine build to grenade on me first time I floor it.

 

Sure thing, I have built close to a dozen motors so this is nothing new to me. It is all about triple checking everything you do... very long and tedious process.

 

where are you at in DFW?

 

I am about to move back to Denton for a bit and that might be where I build the motor. I might build it back here in Garland too. henever I start the actual build I will let you know.

 

cool, very interested in hooking up (no homo)

 

^^ definitely would love to go watch and learn
