So thats where I am at. I have half the block painted and most of the accessories. I will try and finish the painting this week and then start putting the engine back together. I am hoping for around 325 RWHP. Should be fun.

Painted the other side of the block today. I will probably paint the timing cover I just got in the mail and some other misc pieces in the next few days. I will probably install the cam and put the heads on within the next week.
