i got me engine back from the machine shop so started to go over the head bolt holes to clean them, hope to have the crank rods and pistons my monday

next i need to find the time to get the heads and cam out of my zo6, have to pull the steering rack to get the crank pulled off not looking forward to that

this is going so slow i think a turtle can pass me up

I was thinking about other cam but my old 4l80e dont seam happy these days so being i have the ported 2.5 prc 243's already and the btr cam on hand thats what im going to use should put me right at 10.5 CR, that combo make some strong power in my ls6 475/415 n/a in front of a manual trans if i can get around 400/380 id be happy with it for now, i have "turbo build" yelling at me from that little voice in my head seams it just wont shut up lol but have to focus on my car once this engine is in and that all together
